On some ASUS laptops the ECDT gives the incorrect command/status & Data I/O
register address.

AK: it seems like the command/data addresses are exchanged.

In such case it will cause that EC device can't be
initialized correctly.
To add the EC dmi table is to fix this issue. If the laptop falls into the
EC dmi table, the EC command/data I/O address will be fixed.

AK: Add comments describing this better
