    If the host system firmware didn't start the ICM, does that mean SW connection
    manager would just take over even on systems with discrete AR/TR controllers?

    This comment doesn't really seem as relevant anymore. The meaning of it
    has nothing to do with Apple anymore.

    This code is already in icm_firmware_start. Maybe split it to a small function
    So you can just have the more readable

    If (!icm_firmware_running(tb) && !start_icm))
