--- Comment #28 from Diogo Ivo (diogo....@tecnico.ulisboa.pt) ---
This fix does not deal with the ACPI flood (in fact on my system I don't see
that) and only addresses the high CPU usage.

What is happening, at least on my system and I suspect on the remaining ones as
well, is that there is some bug regarding UCSI and the EC keeps reporting
events to the CPU via a interrupt when there is something connected to a USB-C
port, leading to high CPU usage.

Since the CPU gets notified through GPE0x6E masking it does also fix the issue,
at the expense of all the other functionality also covered by the EC, so this
is not the best approach IMHO. rmmod int3403_thermal does nothing on my system.

I will try to dig deeper into the ucsi driver and see if there is anything we
can do there or if this is just a firmware bug in the EC and in that case I am
unsure of what the best approach is.
