Hi all,

I am writing to let you know that I have fixed 2 out of 3 outstanding
issues with this Gigabyte port.

This has been fixed using patches I have submitted to coreboot review.
The patches are from review.coreboot.org, (in order of applying):
13125, 13126, 13127, 13128, 13129

I also have a patch for this but it has been abandoned in coreboot due
to being a workaround rather than a fix.  But it does work.
Patch is:
12795

AND you need to put this in the mainboard Kconfig:

config IRQ9_MADT_OVERRIDE
        bool
        default n

Still no fix for this, I am unsure why it is not working.
