+Device-Tree bindings for chromeos-firmware.c.


Perhaps a bit more description what this is.

What aspect of this is firmware? How does this relate to the EC?


With respect to write-protect, this line is the write protection for the
flash which holds the bootloader.

What is driving the write-protect? Are trying to assign ownership of
the SOC GPIOs to the bootloader/firmware? If so, I think this is all
wrong.


The lines are typically driven by a debugging board plugged into a socket on the Chromebooks motherboard, not by the device it's self. The driver exposes a read-only interface to these signals.
