8.1.2 Rework to Avoid Leakage from EC to PCH in eSPI Mode
Description: With DSx in LPC being a POR, EC binary made a change to drive HIGH
on SUSACK pin. Since EC has a common binary for LPC/eSPI mode, this signal is kept
HIGH in both LPC and eSPI mode. This HIGH signal of 3.3V from EC causes a leakage
to 1.8V SUSACK pin in the PCH in eSPI mode causing board to be stuck at EC09
POSTCODE. This rework will disconnect the SUSACK path in eSPI mode.
Impact of implementing the rework:
Board will boot normally after this rework in
eSPI mode
