I want to see if coreboot could support an old Latitude D510 I have from
late 2005. It's suitable for low-end operations such as running Firefox and
computations, and I'm currently running Lubuntu on this thing.

Vendor: Dell
Motherboard ID: 3TZKF91, according to dmidecode -s system-seriel-number
CPU: Pentium M, Type 0, Family 6, Model 13, Stepping 8
Northbridge/Southbridge: likely 82915GM(?), ICH6/M Southbridge

There is no Super I/O chip on the mainboard, nor one can be detected by
superiotool. Sadly, this is where my venture ends here as flashrom refuses
to identify the motherboard because it halts if it finds an unsupported
laptop, so I can't identify the flash chip. SPI, maybe?
