The advance_transaction() will be invoked from the IRQ context GPE handler and the task context ec_poll(). The handling of this function is locked so that the EC state machine are ensured to be advanced sequentially. But there is a problem. Before invoking advance_transaction(), EC_SC(R) is read. Then for advance_transaction(), there could be race condition around the lock from both contexts. The first one reading the register could fail this race and when it passes the stale register value to the state machine advancement code, the hardware condition is totally different from when the register is read. And the hardware accesses determined from the wrong hardware status can break the EC state machine. And there could be cases that the functionalities of the platform firmware are seriously affected. For example: 1. When 2 EC_DATA(W) writes compete the IBF=0, the 2nd EC_DATA(W) write may be invalid due to IBF=1 after the 1st EC_DATA(W) write. Then the hardware will either refuse to respond a next EC_SC(W) write of the next command or discard the current WR_EC command when it receives a EC_SC(W) write of the next command. 2. When 1 EC_SC(W) write and 1 EC_DATA(W) write compete the IBF=0, the EC_DATA(W) write may be invalid due to IBF=1 after the EC_SC(W) write. The next EC_DATA(R) could never be responded by the hardware. This is the root cause of the reported issue. Fix this issue by moving the EC_SC(R) access into the lock so that we can ensure that the state machine is advanced consistently.
