commit 05a4160f6f062eae1309ac01af97d592672a5f8b Author: Steve Shenton sgsit@libreboot.org Date: Fri Aug 7 08:22:27 2015 +0100
northbridge/gm45/raminit.c: enable GS45 high-performance mode
The datasheets for GS45 describe a high- and low-performance mode for different CPUs. Coreboot currently disables GS45 altogether, but forcing coreboot to treat high-performance GS45 as GM45 makes the X200S and X200 Tablet boot if it has the right CPU type.
Hardcode-enable GS45 high-performance mode in coreboot, passing it off as GM45. This is known to work with all CPUs except the SU (low performance) models.
The low-performance models are unsupported anyway, requiring extensive work on the raminit. For now, this patch increases compatibility to a whole new chipset (GS45), depending on the CPU.
