There is one problem I'd like to solve before committing: The name of the parameter. While "--ec-dump" or "--ecdump" sound great at first, both of them have the problem that the acronym "EC" is ambiguous in the context of Super I/O chips. It can either mean "Environment Controller" or "Embedded Controller". In the future, superiotool will be able to dump settings of both types of these devices, so I fear the parameter has to be replaced by something like "--environ-dump".
How about --envctl-dump or maybe (to emphasize the term 'long' option) --environmental-controller-configuration-dump. I should have spend more than 2 seconds when copying the new option from the existing --dump, maybe we wouldn't have had to reach consensus in the first place. I'll be more careful in the future.

PS. do you want me to re-generate the patch with changed long option?
