seems like it was quite silent around these board in the mailing
list except my emails.
the first rom i test was send me by vidwer@gmail.com it was
labeled coreboot_asus_f2a85-m_1532513585.rom .. i dont know if
this is the commit code of it.
this one was working it think also with IOMMU but it was not able
to drive a radeon addon card.
Does someone no who was working on this boards first .. in the
past the original developer of a port could help me with some
problems.

Be aware there's still an Intel ME requirement for those
platforms;
while they are old enough that the ME can be significantly
reduced, it
cannot be completely eliminated.
