Could someone review?
hey
the url should link to the manufacturer's site if possible e.g. http://dfics.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=...
you have used the pciids of the generic VT8377 host bridge and the audio controller. the audio controller is the only device with a DFI subsystem id, but it can probably be disabled in the bios and then it does not match... since we can (and you patch does) use dmi matching anyway i think we should use (for example) the isa bridge instead of the audio controller. also we could mark it as tested if we match ^AD77$ instead of ^AD77.
A few more comments:
Tadas, could you please re-run your lspci as "lspci -xxxnnnvvv" as root, the current one is missing the full info.
Also, did you try a write/erase operation on the board/chip? Without a successful write operation we cannot mark the board/chip as supported, reading alone is not enough unfortunately.
Please post write logs (-w -VV) and the lspci mentioned above, if possible.
I have committed a refined version in r1581. It uses the generic PCI IDs and therefore requires manual activation via -p internal:mainboard=…
