More information of the device, in case useful.

Some information, as you can see, is not provided by the OEM. But as Intel Alderlake-N RVP was added as a new supported board some releases back, I'm hoping that means this board can be flashed with coreboot and more importantly ME can be somehow disabled for it.
Thanks !
