config/git: importer newer documentation

2024-05-04T05:22:56+00:00

I'm on a schedule here and don't have time to do the
release changelog before actually compiling the release.
I'm pushing the release changelog / news announcement
*while the release is building*. Therefore, the actual
release archive will contain Libreboot documentation, but
from the lbwww revision just before the release announcement.

(a changelog file is still generated from Git, and included
in releases)

nb/haswell: lock policy regs when disabling IOMMU

2024-05-04T03:32:35+00:00

Angel Pons told me I should do it. See comments here:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/81016

I see no harm in complying with the request. I'll merge
this into the main patch at a later date and try to
get this upstreamed.

Just a reminder: on Optiplex 9020 variants, Xorg locks up
under Linux when tested with a graphics card; disabling
IOMMU works around the issue. Intel graphics work just fine
with IOMMU turned on. Libreboot disables IOMMU by default,
on the 9020, so that users can install graphics cards easily.

I'm pretty sure this is the correct way to do it. The machine
still seems to boot, in this configuration.

deprecate MRC 9020MT/SFF (NRI 9020 is default now)

2024-05-04T00:15:26+00:00

NRI is libre raminit

MRC is binary blob raminit

the libre raminit is stable enough now that it's default

the MRC-based targets will be removed in a future release

mark 9020 sff/mt stable for release

2024-05-04T00:15:17+00:00

i initially decided to say unstable, but the default
configuration is reliable; the only caveat is that if
you enable IOMMU, you must only be using intel graphics.

this is already documented in warn.txt files, and on
the website, so it's more than ok to call this stable.

i use one of these myself as my daily driver and it's
rock solid. i haven't had any problems with it. i also
sell these to people with libreboot. no problems.

mark it as stable, ready for a full release.

remove x220edp/x230edp (keep regular x220/x230)

2024-05-03T22:46:27+00:00

nitrocaster boards are hard to find nowadays and i'm not
comfortable supporting the knockoff chinese gear; quality
varies greatly, and i can't know how reliable they are.

nitrocaster has been out of business so it's just not
viable to support this mod anymore. in fact, keeping the
eDP-based targets is a liability to libreboot.

regular x220/x230 (non-eDP-modded) are retained. the eDP
modkit from nitrocaster let you use eDP screens instead
of lvds, on thinkpad x220 and x230, letting you use
higher resolution screens.

older lbmk revs can still be used, if you happen to come
across one of these boards. i only recommend using the
official nitrocaster board, if youcan find one unused.

ymmv with the chinese gear. better just use an unmodded
x230 or get a different machine.
