Intel Sensor Hub After HAP and/or Cleaning #161

Description

While cleaning works just fine, as does HAP for 11.8.50.3399 of the ME, the real issue is that on any version this seems to cripple the Intel Sensor Hub, making accelerometers and such not work, even under Linux, as I don't think there's a direct access to these devices without the hub.

I'm actually somewhat surprised that HAP doesn't allow the sensor hub firmware to load and start up; one would think government types would want to retain these functions despite using HAP devices. I wonder if a workaround could be found, perhaps a way to dump and then force load the ISH firmware from the Linux kernel?

Either way, just a heads up. Since 11.8.50.3399 supposedly mitigates all current known CVE's I guess I'll leave it enabled, begrudgingly, because I want accelerometer/sensor support.

I wonder if it would be worth it for me to contact the Intel employees who wrote the kernel driver to see if they have any ideas...
