Hi Juan,

Thanks for reporting. This seems like an easy fix. To make sure we don't
lose any details due to mail formatting issue, let's move the discussion
to the Bugzilla entry that you have opened (#220639).

Please upload the output of the following directly to that bug report. I
will track the progress there and will notify you when I have a test
patch ready.

$ sudo modprobe ec_sys
$ sudo xxd /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io
