SRU Justification:

Impact:

BIOS AML execution fails when ACPI EC driver returns AE_TIME errors, and some
ACPI functions also fail with it. This can affect ac adapter, battery and many
others depending on how BIOS AML is implemented. 


Fix:
This patch removes AE_TIME errors by ignoring IBF flags from embedded
controller.
