I see, thanks. Previously write to i2c-0/0x69 has been stuck at
romstage, so I kicked it out without looking at the log and therefore
not getting reasons why is was there at first place, Now it is obvious
that C3 is not working correctly without fixing up clock generator.
Previously, also, I blamed incorrect _CST package generation from
copy-paste from T60 for a moment - state descriptions has been
enumerated as 0x1/0x2/0x2 while vendor BIOS has sequentially
enumerated descriptions, still wondering what was the reason to do so.
