CONFIG_PS2M_EISAID. this is a a string used for the
identifier on the mouse, in ACPI.

CONFIG_PS2K_EISAID this is used for the keyboard.

IASL comes back with this build error:

dsdt.asl   1884:   Name(_HID, EISAID("DLLK0534"))
Error    6045 -                              ^ EISAID string must be of the form "UUUXXXX" (3 uppercase, 4 hex digits) (DLLK0534)

Change DLLK0534 back to PNP0303 and
change DLL0534 back to PNP0F13. These are generic identifiers
for PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Any generic driver will work with
the onboard mouse/keyboard on these machines. They do not need
to be changed. These are the default values anyway. Just leave
them explicitly defined to the default values, for now; if these
options are not set, coreboot will default to these values.

This shouldn't break anything for the users. I've reported this
to Nicholas Chin, author of those patches. Libreboot imported
the new versions of E6430/E6530 board patches in the coreboot
revision update, but the new (technically correct) values broke
IASL, so I've decided to use the old values for now.

<id>4a6dc5553f2a15542f730ca735fb8bf95fb8f49b</id>

Base revision changed to:

commit b6cbfa977f63d57d5d6b9e9f7c1cef30162f575a
Author: Morris Hsu &lt;morris-hsu@quanta.corp-partner.google.com&gt;
Date:   Fri Jan 5 16:48:17 2024 +0800

    mb/google/dedede/var/metaknight:Add fw_config probe for multi codec
    and amplifier

Of note:

Several out-of-tree ports have been adjusted to use the new SPD config
style, where it is defined in devicetree. I manually updated the E6530
patch myself, based on the update that Nicholas did on E6430 (Nicholas
will later update the E6530 patch himself, and I'll re-merge the patch).

Several upstream patches now exist in this revision, that we were able
to remove from lbmk.

The heap size patch was reverted upstream, as we did, but see:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/80023
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/79525
Although we still disable the TSEG Stage Cache, ivy/sandy/haswell should
be reliable on S3 now (leaving TSEG Stage Cache disabled, for now, anyway).

Also included in upstream now:

commit 29030d0f3dad2ec6b86000dfe2c8e951ae80bf94
Author: Bill Xie &lt;persmule@hardenedlinux.org&gt;
Date:   Sat Oct 7 01:32:51 2023 +0800

    drivers/pc80/rtc/option.c: Stop resetting CMOS during s3 resume

Further patches from upstream:

commit 432e92688eca0e85cbaebca3232f65936b305a98
Author: Bill Xie &lt;persmule@hardenedlinux.org&gt;
Date:   Fri Nov 3 12:34:01 2023 +0800

    drivers/pc80/rtc/option.c: Reset only CMOS range covered by checksum

This should fix S3 on GM45 thinkpads.

This is of Broadwell platform, one generation above Haswell.

Of note: this uses HP Sure Start. Although the flash is 16MB,
our CBFS section (and IFD configuration) assumes 12MB flash,
so the final 4MB will be left unflashed on installation,
after blanking the private flash. The coreboot documents have
more information about this.

Some minor design changes in lbmk were made, to accomodate
this port:

Support for extracting refcode binaries added (pulled from
Google recovery images). The refcode file is an ELF that
initialises the MRC and the PCH. It is also responsible for
enabling or disabling the Intel GbE device, where Google
does not enable it, but lbmk modifies it per the instructions
on the coreboot documentation, so as to enable Intel GbE.

Google's recovery image stores the refcode as a stage file,
but coreboot changed the format (for CBFS files) after 4.13
so coreboot 4.13's cbfstool is used to extract refcode. This
realisation made me also change the script logic to use a
cbfstool and ifdtool version matching the coreboot tree, for
all parts of lbmk, whereas lbmk previously used only the
default tree for cbfstool/ifdtool, on insertion and deletion
of vendor files - it was 81dc20e744 that broke extraction of
refcode on google's recovery images, where google used an older
version of cbfstool to insert the files in their coreboot ROMs.
A further backported patch has been added, copying coreboot
revision f22f408956 which is a build fix from Nico Huber.

Iru Cai submitted an ACPI bugfix after the revision lbmk
currently uses, for coreboot/default, and this fix is
needed for rebooting to work on Linux 6.1 or higher. This
patch has been backported to lbmk, while it still uses the
same October 2023 revision of coreboot.

Broadwell MRC is inserted at the same offset as Haswell,
so I didn't need to tweak that.

arch no longer needs to be set, on multi-tree projects,
and it has been renamed to xarch

the new behaviour is: if xarch is set, treat it as a
list of crossgcc targets and go through the list. set
the first one as the target, for what lbmk builds, but
build all of the defined crossgccc targets

crossgcc_ada is now xlang, and defines which languages
to build, rather than whether to build gcc-gnat

don't handle "romtype" at all, in board target.cfg files

add /dev/null as pike2008 rom on amd boards. this serves
the same purpose, adding them as empty vga roms, to add
an empty rom in cbfs. pike2008 cards cause seabios to hang,
when their oproms are executed, so we insert a fake rom

on i945 thinkpads, use the coreboot config option:
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK

when set, this enables the same bootblock copy, for use
with bucts. these two cases, namely pike2008 roms and
i945 bootblock copies, no longer need to be handled in code

only call crossgcc for coreboot and u-boot, but use
hostcc for everything else. simplify the checking of
which architecture to compile for. "arch" in target.cfg
files has been modified, to allow further simplification.

without this patch, the logic currently only *barely* avoids
using crossgcc on things like utils, and only works in practise
because, in practise, lbmk only works on x86_64 anyway.

the new logic, as per this patch, is simpler and more robust.

Inside the BIOS update, there's 68SCE and 68SCF variants.
Based on Qubes HCL and browsing linux-hardware.org, these are
Probook 6360b and Elitebook 8460p respectively.

I checked the KBC1126 EC Firmwares within the update file, both
use the exact same firmware images. Following-up will be a very
similar but untested port for 6360b.
