ACPI / EC: Reduce ec_poll() by referencing the last register access timestamp.
Timeout in the ec_poll() doesn't refer to the last register access time. It thus can win the competition against the acpi_ec_gpe_handler() if a transaction takes longer than 1ms but individual register accesses are less than 1ms. In some cases, it can make the following silicon bug easier to be triggered: GPE EN is not wired to the GPE trigger line, so when GPE STS is already set when 1 is written to GPE EN, no GPE can be triggered. This patch adds register access timestamp reference support for ec_poll() to reduce the number of ec_poll() invocations.
