Beside WMI not being necessary, I would be somewhat careful with
dropping acpiec. Depending on the actual system, the ACPI DSDT tables
can reference the EC indirectly and use it for critical infrastructure.
On mobile systems the battery control is often implemented on the EC,
other options are parts of the thermal management etc.
