I guess a possible solution is if ECDT is lacked, scan namespace to get EC device's info, such as GPE, IO ports, then use these info to automatically make a fake ECDT. Because getting info doesn't involve any operating on EC device, it's feasible. A problem is if a system has more than 1 EC, how do we?

Yes, exactly. Anyway, io ports 0x62, 0x66 are the legacy access
for the "main" EC. Perhaps checking those ports and initilializing
that one only may be OK?
