Libreboot 20241206 release
I encountered a minor build error last night, caused by an oversight during development. I quickly fixed the issue but then decided to spend the night testing a few more mainboards for addition; however if I continue doing this, I'll never make the release. So this is essentially the same as what the 20241205 release would have been, with only a minor bug fix in the build system. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org>master 20241206
