Any chance for this hardware to be supported by coreboot?

Short answer: No.

The southbridge is supported, but the northbridge would need a lot of
work, and access to orange cover (2nd level NDA) documentation from
Intel.

I don't believe anyone is planning on implementing this support.

Sorry. :\
