[coreboot] [Bug?] 3 different bytes in VGAbios after upgrade to coreboot

[Vladimir]

I retrieved my vgabios via Linux kernel 3.19 (ubuntu 15.04) using this
method - http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support#Retrieval_via_Linux_kernel  ;
then I downloaded latest sources of SeaBIOS & Coreboot and built Coreboot
using compiled SeaBIOS payload as well as vgabios file ( 1002,990b )

After coreboot installation I have decided to retrieve vgabios again, using
exactly the same kernel and OS, and then diff'ed two vgabios files out of
curiosity. To my surprise, they are slightly different!
vgabios_before.bin - SHA1 checksum: e4d320eb278b0118c46e2e470e7154b12c41966d
vgabios__after.bin - SHA1 checksum: a9e2ed569bbaaea283b5380a5f6c44fc4efc3da4
Here is a report about 3 bytes difference between them -

(wait a few seconds while it loads)

Then I teardown a laptop, and check if vgabios inside coreboot's image
(flashed in chip) is 3 bytes different as well, but there was no difference
against the original vgabios.

So, it appears that, while loading vgabios from a flash chip, coreboot
modifies it slightly. Although this tiny difference is not causing any
graphical glitches or problems for me, this could be a result of a bug -
which is not necessarily limited to my hardware ( Lenovo G505s ) , and
maybe could lead to some other problems

Please tell your opinion, is it a bug or I am wrong at something?

Best regards,
Vladimir Shipovalov
