mainboard/lenovo/t430s: Add ThinkPad T431s as a variant
The code is based on autoport and that for T430s Tested: - CPU i5-3337U - Slotted DIMM 2GiB - Soldered RAM 4GiB from samsung (There may be more models here) - Camera - pci-e and usb2 on M.2 slot with A key for wlan - sata and usb2 (no superspeed components) on M.2 slot with B key for wwan - On board SDHCI connected to pci-e - USB3 ports - libgfxinit-based graphic init - NVRAM options for North and South bridges - Sound - Thinkpad EC - S3 - TPM1 on LPC - EHCI debug on SSP2 (USB3 port on the left) - Linux 4.9.110-3 within Debian GNU/Linux stable, loaded from Linux payload (Heads), Seabios may also work. Not tested: - Fingerprint reader on USB2 (not present on mine) - Keyboard backlight (not present on mine) - "sticky_fn" flag in nvram Not implemented yet: - Fn locking in nvram (may not be identical to "sticky_fn") - C-based native graphic init (since T431s has eDP instead of LVDS) - Detecting the model of Soldered RAM at runtime, and loading the corresponding SPD datum (3 observed) from CBFS (the mechanism may be similar to that on x1_carbon_gen1 and s230u, but I do not know how to find gpio ports for that, and SPD data stored in vendor firmware.)

+# Lenovo T431s
+
+## Disassembly Instructions
+
+You must remove the following parts before flipping the mainboard
+off the main frame:
+
+![t431s_bc_removed](t431s_bc_removed.jpg)
+
+* Base cover
+* Hard disk drive
+* Battery pack
+* Keyboard
+
+Its [Hardware Maintenance Manual](https://thinkpads.com/support/hmm/hmm_pdf/t431s_hmm_en_0c10894_02.pdf) could be used as a guidance of disassembly.
+
+![t431s_flash_chip](t431s_flash_chip.jpg)
+
+The WSON-8 flash chip (surrounded with red circle in the photo above)
+sits on the opposite side of the mainboard, under a piece of insulating
+tape. If solders between the chip and soldering pads fortunately
+overflows beside the chip as tiny tin balls attached to soldering pads,
+it will be possible to use a pomona 5250 clip to hold the chip, with
+its metal tips just attached to tin balls, thus connecting the chip to
+the programmer.
+

+
+```eval_rst
+:doc:`../../flash_tutorial/ext_power`
+```
+
+Currently, detecting the model of soldered RAM at runtime and loading
+the corresponding SPD datum from CBFS is not implemented yet. You may
+have to dump the SPD data when running the vendor firmware with
+inteltool, and replace the content of the SPD hex with what is dumped.
+
+(the mechanism may be similar to that on x1_carbon_gen1 and s230u, but
+I do not know how to find gpio ports for that, and SPD data stored in
+vendor firmware.)
