On newer ASUS boards (e.g. P7P55D) the EC (that - among other things - is
responsible for updating the readings from the hwmon sensors) is disabled
by default since ASUS detected conflict with some tools under Windows.
The following patch checks the state of the EC and enable it if needed;
under Linux, native drivers are locked out from ACPI owned resources so
there's no risk of conflict.
