In the last few days I contacted developers at SuSE who told me that they would contact IBM regarding the buggy BIOS issue. They also said that the more people contact IBM the higher changes would be that IBM fixed the bug. I asked them to provide me some emails addresses at IBM but so far I have not received a reply. When sending bug reports to IBM base it on the following problem description: "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 IBM BIOSes accidentally left out the "_", making the path invalid."
