This could be simplified by having the EC only support building a single version. That is, put everything in I don't expect that to affect anyone but me, since I regularly diff the |

The original rationale for having the EC version match the SBIOS version was to ensure that compatible versions of each were installed. So we set the EC version to the SBIOS version and always flash both of them, even if only one actually changed. At some point, a mechanism should be implemented that checks for a minimum supported/compatible version. This would be comparable to the LVFS MetaInfo's "requires" field.

Stop setting the EC version to the SBIOS version so that the EC will use its real version.
