Comment:

 It was a bug in Open Firmware.

 ''edi-open-active'' broke stack balance by returning 0 when the EC had
 been freshly powered up.  This caused invalid data to be written to the EC
 flags page.  Invalid data is ignored by the EC and treated as CP tag not
 present.  A subsequent reprogramming would succeed because stack was not
 corrupt.

 Fixed in [http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/openfirmware/changeset/3713 SVN
 3713].
