sb/amd/cimx/sb800: Get rid of power button device in coreboot

Apply commit d7b88dcb (mb/google/x86-boards: Get rid of power button
device in coreboot) to AMD Brazos boards [1]:
> As per the ACPI specification, there are two types of power button
> devices:
> Fixed hardware power button
> Generic hardware power button
>
> Fixed hardware power button is added by the OSPM if POWER_BUTTON flag
> is not set in FADT by the BIOS. This device has its programming model
> in PM1x_EVT_BLK. All ACPI compliant OSes are expected to add this
> power button device by default if the power button FADT flag is not
> set.
>
> On the other hand, generic hardware power button can be used by
> platforms if fixed register space cannot be used for the power button
> device. In order to support this, power button device object with HID
> PNP0C0C is expected to be added to ACPI tables. Additionally,
> POWER_BUTTON flag should be set to indicate the presence of control
> method for power button.

[..]
> This change gets rid of the generic hardware power button from all
> google mainboards and relies completely on the fixed hardware power
> button.

The same problem exists with the AMD Hudson devices in coreboot.

For AMD Hudson (2) and Yangtze based devices this was removed in commit
44f2fab8 (AMD hudson and yangtze boards: Let mainboard declare power
button) [2].

Two devices are detected.

$ dmesg | grep Button
