Description: Display fw status registers content
The ME FW writes its status information into fw status
registers for BIOS and OS to monitor fw health.
The register contains running state, power management
state, error codes, and others. The way the registers
are decoded depends on PCH or SoC generation.
Also number of registers varies between 1 and 6
depending on generation.
