Hi Francis,

I have a T400 6474EC3 and an X200 74587PG where I could test releases.

Suspend works on the X200 with recent libreboot, but is broken on the 
T400 (I haven't had the needed time to dig deeper.). The T400 also 
freezes sometimes with libreboot - sound will loop and the capslock key 
is blinking.

I have a hardware programmer, but I might not be able to unbrick the 
T400 in a short time frame. I want to solder wires to the flash chip so 
I don't have to take the whole thing apart every time and I have to go 
to a makerspace to do so.
