Hi Jean-Philippe, and Michal,

thanks for pointing Michal to this thread! And Michal, thank you so much for the quick fix!
I just built the coreboot image including your patch with the MCFG table.
Unfortunately I don't have a device with me.
Will test tomorrow morning and give feedback then.

Cheers,
Sid
