Not to worry, it's a non-obvious answer! ;-) The reason that we must be
able to reset the EC is to stop it from executing code while writing to
the Flash chip. Since the EC and the system BIOS share the SPI Flash,
the EC would otherwise be continually performing code fetches from the
same Flash that you're trying to write to. That's why the system must
be able to reset and control the EC chip.
