+Description:	Display fw status registers content
+
+		The ME FW writes its status information into fw status
+		registers for BIOS and OS to monitor fw health.
+
+		The register contains running state, power management
+		state, error codes, and others. The way the registers
+		are decoded depends on PCH or SoC generation.
+		Also number of registers varies between 1 and 6
+		depending on generation.
