From: Lv Zheng lv.zheng@intel.com
commit 53c5eaabaea9a1b7a96f95ccc486d2ad721d95bb upstream.
Originally the Samsung quirks removed by commit 4c237371 can be covered by commit e923e8e7 and ec_freeze_events=Y mode. But commit 9c40f956 changed ec_freeze_events=Y back to N, making this problem re-surface.
Actually, if commit e923e8e7 is robust enough, we can freely change ec_freeze_events mode, so this patch fixes the issue by improving commit e923e8e7.

Commit: 9c40f956ce9b331493347d1b3cb7e384f7dc0581 Subject: Revert "ACPI / EC: Enable event freeze mode..." to fix a regression
This patch not only fixes the reported post-resume EC event triggering source issue, but also fixes an unreported similar issue related to the driver bind by adding EC event triggering source in ec_install_handlers().
