OK, might be a superiotool bug then.

Can you please do the following things in this order on the box?

1. Reboot.
   (yes, this is important!)

2. Compile superiotool ('make clean all') and run
   ./superiotool -dV
   Save the output in a file.

3. Reboot.

4. Patch superiotool in ite.c: Comment the three lines at the end of the file:

   enter_conf_mode_ite(port);
   probe_idregs_ite_helper("(init=0x87,0x01,0x55,0x55/0xaa) ", port);
   exit_conf_mode_ite(port);

5. Compile superiotool ('make clean all') and run
   ./superiotool -dV
   Save the output in a file.

6. Reboot.

7. Patch superiotool in ite.c: Comment the three lines at the end of the file:

   enter_conf_mode_winbond_fintek_ite_8787(port);
   probe_idregs_ite_helper("(init=0x87,0x87) ", port);
   exit_conf_mode_winbond_fintek_ite_8787(port);

   Do _not_ comment the files from the last run, i.e. these:

   enter_conf_mode_ite(port);
   probe_idregs_ite_helper("(init=0x87,0x01,0x55,0x55/0xaa) ", port);
   exit_conf_mode_ite(port);

   They should be uncommented again (i.e. they should be executed).

8. Compile superiotool ('make clean all') and run
   ./superiotool -dV
   Save the output in a file.


Please post all three logs here then, so we can check if something's
wrong there...

I just checked on a box with IT8708F, there it's only reported once at
0x2e, so maybe it's not a general ITE-related bug.

Yeah, that's fine, it was my fault. r2922 is the latest version.
