SuperIO
This plugin enumerates the various ITE85* SuperIO embedded controller ICs found
in many laptops. Vendors wanting to expose the SuperIO functionality will need
to add a HwId quirk entry to superio.quirk
.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_I/O for more details about SuperIO and what the EC actually does.
Eventually we could support flashing the EC using this plugin, but not until we have a way to recover a failed flash. The pragmatic decision is probably to use the vendor-suplied UEFI capsule binary, as the ITE85* datasheets are seemingly not available without signing an NDA with ITE.
