 *
 * FUNCTION:    acpi_ev_orphan_ec_reg_method
 *
 * PARAMETERS:  ec_device_node      - Namespace node for an EC device
 *
 * RETURN:      None
 *
 * DESCRIPTION: Execute an "orphan" _REG method that appears under the EC
 *              device. This is a _REG method that has no corresponding region
 *              within the EC device scope. The orphan _REG method appears to
 *              have been enabled by the description of the ECDT in the ACPI
 *              specification: "The availability of the region space can be
 *              detected by providing a _REG method object underneath the
 *              Embedded Controller device."
 *
 *              To quickly access the EC device, we use the ec_device_node used
 *              during EC handler installation. Otherwise, we would need to
 *              perform a time consuming namespace walk, executing _HID
 *              methods to find the EC device.
 *
 *  MUTEX:      Assumes the namespace is locked
