ACPI: dock: Don't eval _STA on every show_docked sysfs read
Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This can also be seen in commit 8b59560a (ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method). If an undock is processed, the dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again. In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12360 Signed-off-by: Holger Macht <hmacht@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
