My understanding is that this information is of importance to the user space process that takes care of the ESMC protocol. It would probably want to receive a notification when the state of the DPLL/EEC changes as opposed to polling the kernel or poking into its log. So I think that whatever netlink-based interface we agree on to represent the EEC (devlink or something else), should have the ability to send a notification when the state changes.
