ectool kbpress fails on eve

Project Member Reported by cernekee@chromium.org, Feb 8 2018

Issue description

I use this to automatically login after pushing a new Chrome/Android image; it works on every other Chromebook except for eve:

localhost ~ # ectool kbpress 7 7 0
Releasing row 7 col 7.
EC result 4 (ACCESS_DENIED)

localhost ~ # ectool version
RO version:    eve_v1.1.6572-0e3f4120f
RW version:    eve_v1.1.6579-0470f63b6
Firmware copy: RW
Build info:    eve_v1.1.6579-0470f63b6 2017-10-03 22:37:08 @build21-m2.golo.chromium.org

Kirtika says it works for her, so maybe there is something wrong with my setup.
 
Your system may be write protected / running closer to MP firmware.
It is an MP unit.

Is that bad?  I think a bunch of my other Chromebooks are MP but they do not have this issue.
Are those other units still write-protected?
Probably not.  Most of the time the WP screw is removed on the development units.

So is this the right way to fix it on Eve?  `flashrom -p host --wp-disable`
I think you want "-p ec" to disable WP on the EC side so it allows the command.
