Dear Timothy, dear Damien,


looking through the board status data, I noticed the boot time
increased by one second for the ASUS KGPE-D16.

```
asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-584-gcc9963e/2016-03-25T19_52_04Z/coreboot_timestamps.txt:Total Time: 18,389,685
asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-587-gec38c3d/2016-03-26T21_40_56Z/coreboot_timestamps.txt:Total Time: 19,425,140
```

Did the hardware configuration change, or did commit ec38c3d9
(nb/amd/amdmct: Select max_lanes based on ECC presence or absence) [1]
do that?

Maybe the command below shows you some pointers in the board status
repository.

```
diff -ru asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-584-gcc9963e/2016-03-25T19_52_04Z asus/kgpe-d16/4.3-587-gec38c3d/2016-03-26T21_40_56Z/
```


Thanks,

Paul
