Alright, so I noticed that 4.9-rc1 is still good, so I did a reverse commit bisect between 4.8 and r.9-rc1. Here was the final result:
2a5708409e4e05446eb1a89ecb48641d6fd5d5a9 is the first bad commit commit 2a5708409e4e05446eb1a89ecb48641d6fd5d5a9 Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zh...@intel.com> Date: Wed Sep 7 16:50:21 2016 +0800 ACPI / EC: Fix a gap that ECDT EC cannot handle EC events It is possible to register _Qxx from namespace and use the ECDT EC to perform event handling. The reported bug reveals that Windows is using ECDT in this way in case the namespace EC is not present. This patch facilitates Linux to support ECDT in this way.
