ec/acpi: add mechanisms to clear EC output queue
EC's output could be considered as a queue, and sometimes (observed on Thinkpad T400s during cold boot) a few (only one observed) garbage bytes may detained in such queue after power up. Those garbage bytes should be checked and discarded first before real interactions, otherwise they may disrupt the interaction during EC's enablement, causing a locked rfkill.
