 I have exactly the same laptop model with similar symptoms.
 It seems that EC cannot work in polled mode at all. Since FreeBSD ACPI code=
  disables GPEs on shutdown, it is not able to receive answer from EC, and r=
 eboots machine.
 
 Atached patch adds new sysctl "debug.acpi.ec.disable_polling", setting it t=
 o "1" resolves all described symptoms.
