riku committed a new patch, that fixes build errors
when PICO_DEFAULT_LED_PIN is not defined, on a given
board. in such cases, riku's new patch just disables
handling of the status LED, but LEDs continue to work
on boards where it is defined.

the new revision sets drive level to 12mA instead
of the default 4mA. 16-20mA is the maximum tolerated
level for data lines, on most flash ICs, so 12mA is
relatively safe.
riku did this a while ago, tested on pico pi.

the e6400_4mb target has libgfxinit and (if seabios) vgarom
initialisation, but has issues on the nvidia model, even when
using nomodeset. with this target, e6400nvidia_4mb, only
the vgarom initialisation is used, libgfxinit is disabled.
on nvidia models, this one should work a little bit better.
specifically: nouveau crashes on this machine, with libreboot
installed, but you can use nomodeset. however, when libgfxinit
is also enabled, nomodeset no longer works properly.
so this target disables all video initialisation in coreboot.
only seabios will initialise anything video-related, by
executing the vga option rom.

at present, lbmk can remove microcode updates on images for
a given target, if the target specifies
microcode_required="n" in target.cfg
lbmk then provides images with microcode, and images without,
in a given release. although the user can also remove them
manually, this just makes it a bit more convenient, for those
users who do wish to run without the updates. this functionality
is provided only on those platforms where no-microcode is tested.
well, this behaviour implements a compromise on libreboot policy,
which is to always include microcode updates by default. see:
Binary Blob Reduction Policy
the *canoeboot* project now exists, developed in parallel with
libreboot, and it ships without microcode updates, on the same
targets where lbmk also handled this.
running without microcode updates is foolish, and should not
be encouraged. clean up lbmk by not providing this kludge.
the libreboot documentation will be updated, telling such users
to try canoeboot instead, or to remove the update from a given
libreboot rom - this is still possible, and mitigations such as
PECI disablement on GM45 are still in place (and will be kept),
so that this continues to work well.

without this patch, the logic currently only *barely* avoids

This reverts commit 20389655e4.
If the user actually has encryption, but has /boot unencrypted,
this will considerably slow down the boot, so the patch has

The patch was originally meant to favour encrypted /boot
setups, but the old behaviour also still works there.
when the user sets up an encrypted machine, grub.cfg
defaults to non-encrypted setups if found, first
this patch reverses the order, deferring to

Fix a few issues with the E6430 configs to make it consistent with
configs for other boards and function as intended.
- Add VBT to CBFS: Although the VBT was enabled at the board level
Kconfig in a previous commit (CONFIG_INTEL_GMA_HAVE_VBT), the config
to actually add the VBT to CBFS was still unset.
- Enable the static option table: The old config would always use the
fallback values hard coded in the coreboot tree, rather than the
settings in the cmos.default file
- Enable DRAM clear on boot: This was not set previously, even though
most other boards set this for security.

TSEG Stage Cache enabled again, because disabling it
did not affect S3 in any way.
Many configs have changed, and debug level is set to 7.
In testing with V-T60 on IRC, it wasn't just removal of
the DDR2 patch that I did, but I re-did the configs too,
in exactly the same way I've done them here, when testing
on an X200 to fix boot issues.
Libreboot does not use defconfigs, instead it uses full
configs, and these have to be updated. I normally just
run make-oldconfig on every config, for revision updates.
However, every now and then, we need to re-do them.
Play it safe and re-do every config. I've double- and
triple-checked that the configs are correct.

the ddr2 fix broke *ddr3* on gm45 thinkpads in
testing, depending on memory modules. this was
established by removing patches, re-doing
configs etc, on a user's X200 (testing gentoo
and freebsd). the X200 kept randomly rebooting
or having random glitches.
the configs themselves (gm45 thinkpads) will
also be re-done, because i found minor issues
unrelated, but this patch moves dell e6400 to
its own tree. the ddr2 fix is no longer present
in coreboot/default, only coreboot/dell.
i noticed minor differences in gm45 thinkpad
configs, when re-doing the configs, versus
what are currently in lbmk master; for instance,
vbt was not enabled anymore, on thinkpad x200.

seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.
e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.
e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1
grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up
fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before
courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on

the logic for naming coreboot roms is based on whether
cpu_microcode_blob.bin would exist in cbfs, and whether
deletion was therefore successful.
lbmk was naming nomicrocode on fam15h roms on this basis,
but the microcode was being inserted as microcode_amd.bin
and microcode_amd_fam15h.bin
in the recent 20231021 release, the roms were exclusively
labeled _nomicrocode in the rom names, but they do in fact
contain microcode.
i'm fixing it by telling lbmk *not* to delete microcode.
if microcode_required is not set, or it's set to y, then
only roms *with* microcode updates are provided; even if
the rom doesn't actually contain it, lbmk will only label
it _nomicrocode if that setting is set to n.
i'm not bothering to add further complexity to the rom
handling logic, because canoeboot now exists anyway (at
website https://canoeboot.org/) which is my new version
re-implementing the older, inferior version of libreboot
so i'm going to:
1) document this as errata in the release
2) cross reference in the freedom status page
3) if someone still isn't happy, i'll say use canoeboot
