Well, there are the following two post-3.6 EC-related commits:

commit 67bfa9b60bd689601554526d144b21d529f78a09
Author: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 28 15:22:01 2012 +0800

    ACPI: EC: Add a quirk for CLEVO M720T/M730T laptop

commit a520d52e99b14ba7db135e916348f12f2a6e09be
Author: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 28 15:22:00 2012 +0800

    ACPI: EC: Make the GPE storm threshold a module parameter

Can you please check if reverting the second one helps?

Rafael
