Hi. I did the same approach (also today) but I still have a
question about two blocks in your patch.

-----------------------------------
acpi_status status = AE_OK;
- int result = 0;
- unsigned long flags = 0;
+ int result = 0;
u32 glk = 0;
-----------------------------------
ec->common.handle = device->handle;
- ec->common.uid = -1;
- spin_lock_init(&ec->poll.lock);
+ ec->common.uid = -1;
+ init_MUTEX(&ec->poll.sem);
strcpy(acpi_device_name(device), ACPI_EC_DEVICE_NAME);
-----------------------------------

You first remove "int result = 0;" and "ec->common.uid =
-1;" and then add them again, why? I simply remove them.

Well the most difficult thing was to find out, that they
renamed polling in poll anyways ;).

Think that's diff fault! :-) Hope tobe useful.
