21Description: Display fw status registers content
22
23 The ME FW writes its status information into fw status
24 registers for BIOS and OS to monitor fw health.
25
26 The register contains running state, power management
27 state, error codes, and others. The way the registers
28 are decoded depends on PCH or SoC generation.
29 Also number of registers varies between 1 and 6
30 depending on generation.
