This is to solve bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45151 The ACPI_EC_STORM_THRESHOLD was initially 20 when it's created, and was changed to 8 in commit 06cf7d3c7 "ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm treshold" to fix another kernel bug 11892 by forcing the laptop in that bug to work in polling mode. However in bug 45151, it works fine in interrupt mode if we lift the threshold back to 20. This patch makes the threshold a module parameter so that user has a flexible option to chose a number according to their specific EC HW. It doesn't affect current EC behavior.
