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.
Added Jesse and Karsten to CC, as they are working on such a tool right now, as far as I know.
