Depends on what the definition of 'one Board' is. :) One example of
having more than one superio is the Lenovo X60/T60 - both have one
superio in the Laptop, and one in the Docking station. You can't
use the serial Port in the Laptop for an early console without
soldering, but that's one practically example of having more
than one superio.

I would prefer to add such settings to devicetree.cb - Kconfig isn't the
right right place for it IMHO, and isn't flexible enough.

Sven.
