+Subject: [PATCH 42/43] ec/dell/mec5035: Add command to disable EC-initiated
+ thermal shutdown
+
+If command 0xBF isn't sent, the EC shuts down the system without warning
+as soon as the CPU temperature reaches about 87 degrees, without letting
+the CPU thermal throttle to try and reduce the temperature. With vendor
+firmware, the CPU is able to reach around 100 degrees before thermal
+throttling.
+
+This command was found by collecting EC commands by logging the LPC bus
+while running with vendor firmware and then replaying observed commands
+from coreboot. By systematically replaying subsets of commands in a
+binary search pattern and then stress testing the system, the command to
+disable the shutdown was isolated.
+
+The exact meaning of the parameters for this command are unknown at this
+time, but do seem to differ between different generations of these
+laptops. Due to this, the commmand should be called by mainboard
+specific code which passes the specific parameter value used.
+
+The Google Wilco EC code, which runs on Latitude Chromebooks and shares
+many commands with the standard Latitude ECs, suggests that command 0xBF
+tells the EC about the processors CPUID. However, the values observed in
+LPC bus logs do not seem to correspond with any CPUID values on the
+non-Chromebook systems I tested.
+
+Observed command parameter values (sent on mailbox registers 2-4):
+- E6430 (Ivy Bridge): 0x07, 0x00, 0x00
+- M6800 (Haswell): 0x14, 0x00, 0x00

+Subject: [PATCH 43/43] mb/dell/snb_ivb_latitude: Disable EC initiated shutdown
+ at 87 degrees
+
+If command 0xBF isn't sent, the EC will shut down the system without
+warning once the CPU reaches approximately 87 degrees, without the
+system thermal throttling first. Call the newly added function from the
+MEC5035 code to send this command and disable this behavior.
+
+Tested on the Latitude E6430.
