One point is that my patch don't want to fully initialize EC devices.
It just want to get EC resource to init EC addresspace handler ,
Although the patch looks ugly.

The motivation is just to have EC address space
handler ready for devices that get initialized before EC devices on
laptop without ECDT. If this attempt is failed due to what you
said, then ECDT is necessary.

At least, it seems to work for gateway laptop. Of cause, it need to be
refined.
