How would anyone but you know ? Normally Super-IO access is disabled
after the exit sequence is sent (as "lpc_write(0x2, 0x2);" in lpc_chip_id()
seems to do). Maybe this EC is different and does not disable access to
its IO space after "lpc_write(0x2, 0x2);". Or maybe that write does not
disable Super-IO access at all. Again, who but you would know if the EC
behaves differently than all the other Super-IO chips and embedded
controllers out there ?

If you say this is correct, we'll have to believe you.
