G505S has KB9012 chip on board, I can guarantee this. However, maybe KB9012 is a bit similar to the older chips, and just the internal 128KB memory and some features got added. If you'd look at KB9012 dataset available online, I think it had a comparison table of KB9012 vs some older chip. Hope this helps!

Yes, I was looking at the G505S and its EC when considering these patches.
The situation with the EC in the G505S seems a bit odd. The EC is named `ene932`, but there are several commits in the codebase which reference the chip as a KB9012. The KB9012 datasheet, however, reference the ENE930 series chips as the predecessor chip to the KB9010 series.
The S230U has a KB9012 and the Compal firmware seems to have a similar `OperationRegion` layout to the firmware in the `ene932`, but the EC query values are completely different. The S230U basically defines its own EC in its mainboard tree and only uses the `ene932` code for its helper I/O space functions.
If anyone has a G505S or its vendor documentation to check that the chip on the board is really an ENE930 series, I think that would help clear this up.
This is something I was considering trying to refactor as well, by giving the S230U its own `ec/` common code. However, I would probably throw that patch in with my mainboard's patchset (Lenovo Edge E530), since otherwise the S230U would be the only user of that code.

If this could help you, coreboot-supported Lenovo G505S also has EC KB9012

Hello,
I was looking at the code and ACPI for a number of different embedded controllers while adding support for a Lenovo mainboard. The mainboard in question has an EC nearly identical to the Twist S230U (Compal KB9012), so I planned to factor out the S230U's EC code/ACPI into its own chip.
While doing this, I noticed there were several duplicate functions across the `ec/` directory, so I'd like to potentially submit some patches to clean them up. However, I'm not sure of the best way to go about this.
The following is what I currently have in mind:
- Removing most individual `ec_write_cmd()` and similar functions andreplacing calls with their respective
`ec/acpi/ec.c` library functions
- Removing individual `kbc_` polling functions and sharing the ones
defined
in `drivers/pc80/keyboard.c`
- Should public library functions for sending and receiving data from a PC80 keyboard controller be defined in the PC80 driver and exported in `include/pc80/keyboard.h`?
- We already have `send_keyboard()` there, which sends a command and receives data - would it be good to add individual functions for those operations as well?
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. I looked for guidelines on suggested code organization in the docs/commit history/ mailing list, but came up mostly empty-handed.
Thanks!
