[PATCH V5 2/2] debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()

Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required

[PATCH V5 1/2] ACPI / EC: Fix broken 64bit big-endian users of 'global_lock'

global_lock is defined as an unsigned long and accessing only its lower 32 bits from sysfs is incorrect, as we need to consider other 32 bits for big endian 64-bit systems. There are no such platforms yet, but the code needs to be robust for such a case. Fix that by changing type of 'global_lock'
