[Bug 578506] Re: [Kernel] ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction

Works perfectly without any patching. Now I'm not getting error about "input buffer is not empty..". 
Also, all ACPI works well (lcd backlight control, battery state, etc.)

Bug description:
  Hi,
  on upgrade to 10.04 version.

  After few minuts of use apci stop to wrok (don't recognize ac/dc or
  battery, don't change lcd blacklight, etcc..) and start to flood dmes
  with this messages:

  [  767.208058] ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction
  [  767.208072] ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] (20090903/evregion-424)

  [  767.208277] ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Evaluating _BST (20090903/battery-393)

  
  Trying to reboot (or to shutdown and restart) my pc don't want to boot! Unique solution: get out the battery and replace.

  PC: notebook acer aspire 5930G
