Comment (by ray.tseng at quantatw.com):
1) When a new BIOS is to be flashed, it is written by the system upgrade
utility to a predetermined location on the NAND, say /boot/new-bios.
2) The system upgrade utility issue a command to trigger ECRST#, just like
the reset switch does. The EC will reset and power on the system again.
3) LinuxBIOS flash the new-bios
4) LinuxBIOS can also issue this commmand to trigger ECRST#
