I agree with you, in kernel we use only one bit for FW, but based on my 
understanding of forcewake implementation back to back forcewake should 
not cause any issue.
Don't you think adding old ack might be hiding some other issue? I think 
we need to root cause further.

As of now we can revert the patch & I will start root cause on my 
machine on why the issue is happening.
