acpi ec_sys: Be more cautious about ec write access
- Set Kconfig option default n - Only allow root to read/write io file (sever bug!) - Introduce write support module param -> default off - Properly clean up if any debugfs files cannot be created Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> CC: mjg59@srcf.ucam.org CC: platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org CC: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org CC: astarikovskiy@suse.de Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>

Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
+ Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
+ Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
+ have to power of your system, and remove the laptop battery for
+ some seconds.
An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
sensor values like battery state and temperature.
- The kernel access the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
- tables.
+ The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
+ tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
+ code being involved.
Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
