Yes, that's correct. Could you try the attached patch, and build with DEBUG=intel? This should dump out the entire EEPROM contents on screen, which would be useful to know. (If you have a serial port and a null-modem cable, you can capture the output by enabling CONSOLE_SERIAL in config/console.h; otherwise a digital camera is probably easiest.)
