nb/intel/haswell: Don't unconditionally set DEVEN The existing code sets DEVEN with the intention of enabling the IGD and Mini-HD audio. However, according to the datasheet [1] and some testing on hardware, the bits in DEVEN are set by default if and only if the straps/fuses say the device should be enabled. To illustrate this, here are a few initial values of DEVEN on some Haswell systems: Supermicro X10SLM+-F: 0x0000002d ASRock H81M-HDS: 0x00000039 Acer C720: 0x000000b1 On the X10SLM+-F, the IGD is disabled by default, and PEG10 & PEG11 are enabled by default. On the C720, the PEG devices are all disabled by default, while the IGD and Mini-HD audio are already enabled. There are two issues that result from the existing behaviour: PEG devices are unconditionally disabled, and devices are set as enabled when it's not actually possible to enable them. So, don't touch the DEVEN register at this stage, as there are no benefits. Interestingly, on an Acer C720 (Google Peppy), a PCI device 00:04.0 appears. It is a thermal sensor. `powerstat` was used to measure idle power usage over 30 minutes under Debian GNU/Linux 9.6. There was no change in reported power draw.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN
Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig
and make nconfig
)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
