AMD Is Hiring For Coreboot Development, Sponsoring Open-Source Firmware Conference

Great.

Now if this would be of use to re-activate the PCI Express 4.0 thing on X470 boards that AMD banned ...

Oh wait! It's AMD!

This is a great time to highlight the difference between a fully owner controlled, open source firmware (like the OpenPOWER firmware stack or libreboot) and an open framework around vendor binaries such as coreboot.

With the former, you can decide to override the vendor if you want. With the latter (e.g. modern x86 coreboot) you'll probably find the whitelist in some signed binary (likely BinaryPI in this case) that you can't touch.
