With respect to write-protect, this line is the write protection for the 
flash which holds the bootloader.

For the developer-switch and recovery-switch, I understand that pulling 
these lines low result in the stock firmware forcing the device to boot 
into developer mode and recovery mode respectively. The device I have no 
longer runs the stock firmware, so I'm not able to confirm this, though 
I am able to drive these lines.

As far as I'm aware, none of these are related to the operation of the EC.

Will update the binding documentation.

I'm not aware of any and would rather not start inventing ones that 
aren't already there.

Ok, will do.
