+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.
