commit 67504507ce9611eefbcc8a47ac50322308a98f0f Author: Francis Rowe info@gluglug.org.uk Date: Fri Dec 12 12:42:01 2014 +0000
northbridge/gm45/raminit.c: enable GS45 high-performance mode
X200S uses GS45 chipset, unlike X200 which uses GM45. These two chipsets are mostly compatible except for raminit.
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 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.
