C3 laptops sometimes identified as pre-B3 (B2)

Description

Some C3 motherboards are erroneously identified as B2 motherboards by the EC. This can cause brick (or brick-like) symptoms. They are running Q2E12 firmware.

The hardware components are fine -- the board ID voltage is ALMOST identical between working and non-working units. The non-working units have board ID voltages slightly below 2.06V (the ideal for C3), but still well within tolerances.

Replying to wad:

Typo in the table. Will be in the upcoming Q2E13 release.

This is in joyride. (Actually, Q2E15 is in joyride now.) Added Q2E15 to the stable build repo as well. Closing.
