AMD boards: ACPI DSDT: Use COREBOOT for the OEM Table ID field
The DSDT header contains the fields OEMID and OEM Table ID. See for example ACPI specification 4.0a [1] 5.2.11.1 Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) on page 135. There Table 5-16 contains the descriptions. Field Byte Length Byte Offset Description =================================================== OEMID 6 10 OEM ID OEM Table ID 8 16 The manufacture model ID. Currently in coreboot there is no common method what to put in these fields. Mostly Intel based boards populate it with "CORE " ore "COREv4" and AMD based boards populate it with the board vendor and model number, abbreviated appropriately to fit into these fields. On most boards the proprietary vendor BIOS seems to leave these fields – displayed with `sudo dmidecode` under System Information – blank To Be Filled By O.E.M. and fill out the Base Board Information with the board vendor and model name. In [2] Jens Rottmann argues that the this is really just the table ID used for naming it and that »99% of the DSDT code is not board specific«. Both approaches seem to have their advantages, but using the second one, developers often seem to forget to update them (for example AMD Thather). The current situation is at least not optimal. and therefore at least unify the string in the OEM Table ID. If unifying the OEM ID is also a good idea this should be done too. If later on it should be decided that the board vendor and model should be used again, this should be somehow derived from Kconfig. The following command was used for the change [3]. $ git grep -l '\/\* TABLE ID \*\/' | xargs sed -i '/TABLE ID/s/"\([^"]*\)"/"COREBOOT"/' This patch is split out from [2].
