+ Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded

+ An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads

+ The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
+ tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI

+ Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
+ and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
