The problem here is that what we desperately need first is a method to restore the original EEPROM contents after it gets corrupted (David Airlie has, sadly, apparently bricked his notebook while trying to do so). Without this, we can put a lot of debugging/protecting patches into the kernel, but we won't be able to succesfully verify anything, because testing wouldn't be possible.
