I found this interesting. A guy took apart his Thinkpad 600X (one of the lm-sensors vulnerable ones) and pulled out the Atmel Flash EEPROM to reflash it: http://www.ja.olm.net/unlock/key_for_600x.htm You can get the datasheet for the AT24RF08C RFID flash eeprom here: http://www.ja.olm.net/unlock/key_for_600e.htm Strange serial eeprom device. It lives in 0x54-0x57. It's not clear to me how the chip responds to 'quick' SMBus accesses we use during probing, or how it would like being driven by our eeprom module. Anyways, note that people who have had their Thinkpad 240's killed by Lm_sensors get the error: 0188: Invalid RFID Serialization Area Could we simply blacklist the 0x54-0x57 area unless the user explicitly 'forces' regular usage of that area?
