Within coreboot, the socket option is just used to indirectly select the
supported CPUs. When we worked on the RK9 support, we were just lazy
and selected SOCKET_BGA956 to actually select MODEL_1067X. This should
(hopefully) work with any processor listed in [1]. Just to be sure,
which processor is socketed in your RK9?

However, the selection of a wrong socket or cpu model shouldn't cause
the problem you're describing. Maybe I can identify something that
differs from the RK9 we used during development. Please paste the output
of the following commands after booting to Linux with the legacy BIOS:

dmidecode
lspci -nn
lspci -xxx -s 0:00.0

Regards,
Nico
