## Make coreboot coverity clean
coreboot and several other of our projects are automatically tested
using Synopsys' free "Coverity Scan" service. While some fare pretty
good, like [em100](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/em100) at 0 known
defects, there are still many open issues in other projects, most notably
[coreboot](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/coreboot) itself (which
is also the largest codebase).
Not all of the reports are actual issues, but the project benefits a
lot if the list of unhandled reports is down to 0 because that provides
a baseline when future changes reintroduce new issues: it's easier to
triage and handle a list of 5 issues rather than more than 350.
This project would be going through all reports and handling them
appropriately: Figure out if reports are valid or not and mark them
as such. For valid reports, provide patches to fix the underlying issue.
