Hmm, but then instead of being more flexible, you're unnecessary  
restricting
yourself to require HUC_AGENT bit, even if you don't need it - recall the
theoretical scenario with bad bios that already locked that register.

This seems to be little inconsistent with earlier patch where you try to
support much more different scenario (from no HuC fw to use HuC fw)
