I mean, we should, or could be getting more -vvv information from ecdump or the fact that because this is attached to the embedded controller makes things harder? > Just to add a few more cents, googling around I found that Paul Sladen has already been looking for some info on the chip.

Hopping this email address will do it anyway.
