    AMD Fam15tn boards: BiosCallOuts.c: Remove board name from `CodecTableList`
    
    The board name in that variable name is not necessary, as it is not board
    dependent, that means using the file as a template for making a new
    coreboot port for another motherboard the variable does not need to be
    changed, and just increases the code differences between AMD Parmer,
    AMD Thather and ASUS F2A85-M. So use a generic name.
    
    The same was done for AMD Persimmon (and inherited by the LiPPERT
    FrontRunner/Toucan-AF) in the following commit.

    The board name is *not* removed from the `CODEC_ENTRY` variable name as
    the verb table not only depends on the codec but also on the board [1].
    Having the board name in the variable name is a good indicator that the
    pin configuration needs to be adapted when taking this file as a template
    for a new port. If it was board independent, a default chip configuration
    could be used and shared between all boards, which is unfortunately not
    the case.
    
    [1] Unfortunately I was not able to find Jens’ comment in my mail archive
        and in the Gerrit Web interface. Not sure where it is, but I am sure
        he made that comment.
