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.
Fix that by making global_lock an u32 instead.

Its marked just for # v4.1+, because arm64 has the first 64 big-endian platform with ACPI. And ACPI support for that is mainlined recently only (Arnd Bergmann).
OK
So are you aware of any ARM platform implementing the ACPI EC?
I am not. Moreover, I'm not aware of any plans in that area.
In any case, please just split the EC-related changes off from your second patch and send them separately.
Thanks, Rafael
