mainlining shenanigans
22c040fa21
On many boards, communication between the kernel and the Embedded Controller happens over an LPC bus. In these cases, the kernel config CONFIG_CROS_EC_LPC is enabled. Some of these LPC boards contain a Microchip Embedded Controller (MEC) that is different from the regular EC. On these devices, the same LPC bus is used, but the protocol is a little different. In these cases, the CONFIG_CROS_EC_LPC_MEC kernel config is enabled. Currently, the kernel decides at compile-time whether or not to use the MEC variant, and, when that kernel option is selected it breaks the other boards. We would like a kind of runtime detection to avoid this. This patch adds that detection mechanism by probing the protocol at runtime, first we assume that a MEC variant is connected, and if the protocol fails it fallbacks to the regular EC. This adds a bit of overload because we try to read twice on those LPC boards that doesn't contain a MEC variant, but is a better solution than having to select the EC variant at compile-time. While here also fix the alignment in Kconfig file for this config option replacing the spaces by tabs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
