short answer: No. (but it might not matter)

Generally, one can't "disable" the ME. One can reduce its firmware
features, but that firmware is not directly related to coreboot (they
can share a flash chip like Windows and Linux can share a hard disk).

However, if you are talking about the Chromebook, it doesn't have an
ME, AIUI.

If you are talking about the normal Yoga 11e (not Chromebook), I
don't think Lenovo would allow you to install coreboot (they might
enforce this with signature checks; Intel BootGuard).
