At least not in my model, the ENAB method is empty, heres a snippet of the DSDT:

                            Method (ENAB, 0, NotSerialized)
                            {
                            }

                            Method (INFO, 0, NotSerialized)
                            {
                                If (TECF)
                                {
                                    Store (Zero, TECF)
                                    Store (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.TOHK, Local0)
                                    Store (Zero, ^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.TOHK)
                                }
                                Else
                                {
                                    Store (Zero, Local0)
                                }

                                Return (Local0)
                            }

And above scope _SB you can find

                    Method (NTFY, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        Store (One, ^^^^VALZ.TECF)
                        Notify (VALZ, 0x80)
                        Return (0xAA)
                    }
