[coreboot] coreboot AMD Cards

Tue Aug 28 18:14:46 CEST 2018

the output of sudo dmesg | grep invalid is empty..

 but as i said i am currently running this board with the stock
BIOS/UEFI as it is my main desktop.

i have another AMD A8-5500 laying around .. if i can hands on a another
testing board i will test this to.

as i remembered as i logged in via ssh on the testrun with no graphics
output .. the HD7850 was listed in lspci

i will update you with more informations when i am able to.
