In short, ECDT -> EC_ID is supposed to be the full path name of your EC
device in ACPI Namespace like "\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC", but __NOT__ in your
BIOS. 
You can work around your problem by adding hack code, but it makes OS
code dirty to save broken BIOSes and it allows BIOS vendor not to fix
their problem.
