AFAIK, these chips are supported, which is good. I would also check
which SuperIO your board has (pictures tell me it's a Winbond
W83627DHG).

That list is not up-to-date at all (nor the wiki itself). Please check
this page instead:
https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html
Your board does not appear there either, though.

Ideally, you would want to select your board. Since it is not in
menuconfig, you need to port coreboot to your board. I suggest basing
your port on intel/d945gclf, but this does not mean using the code
as-is! Some things that must be changed:
- gpio.c: use data from inteltool. This is IMPORTANT, misconfiguration
can result in SHORTCIRCUITS!
- Since the SuperIO is different, all the SuperIO-specific code must
be changed. You can use another board with the same SuperIO as a
reference.
- romstage.c: there's lots of mainboard-specific stuff in there,
mainly values to be changed.
- devicetree.cb: PCI device numbers don't usually change between the
same chipsets, but whether they are enabled does depend on the board.
Subsystem IDs are specific too.
- hda_verb.c: this is the audio device pin config.

Do note this is not an exhaustive list. There is also the old
mainboard porting guide, which may not apply to current code:
https://www.coreboot.org/Motherboard_Porting_Guide

I also noticed an ITE chip on the underside of the module, I believe
it's a PCI-to-ISA bridge but I can't see the part number very well (a
similar board has an IT8888E). Moreover, as far as I can see, this
module is to be used on some other board which may have additional
chips. I am not sure whether these chips should be considered part of
the mainboard.
