PS1:
Please mention all changes (and affected paths) in the commit message and argue why they are necessary.
Code snippet #1:
if (content->ISL == 16) return CHIPSET_5_SERIES_IBEX_PEAK;
Commit message: This adds an explicit check for Ibex Peak when guessing chipset from IFD contents
Rationale: This makes it so that we positively identify Ibex Peak, using the ISL value you've confirmed, instead of guessing based on other chipsets not being detected.
Code snippet #2:
/* Ibex Peak is historically used as the default */
Commit message:
adds a comment that Ibex Peak is historically the default when other chipsets are not detected.
Rationale: This adds some context to explain why we return CHIPSET_5_SERIES_IBEX_PEAK instead of something else, such as CHIPSET_ICH_UNKNOWN. Hopefully some documentation will avoid this sort of friction in the future.
