Paul Menzel 1ae7d475a8 AMD Fam15tn boards: BiosCallOuts.c: Remove board name from `CodecTableList`
The board name in that variable name is not necessary, as it is not board
dependent, that means using the file as a template for making a new
coreboot port for another motherboard the variable does not need to be
changed, and just increases the code differences between AMD Parmer,
AMD Thather and ASUS F2A85-M. So use a generic name.

The same was done for AMD Persimmon (and inherited by the LiPPERT
FrontRunner/Toucan-AF) in the following commit.

        AMD Fam14 boards: reduce unnecessary differences, 2nd attempt

        Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/2529

The board name is *not* removed from the `CODEC_ENTRY` variable name as
the verb table not only depends on the codec but also on the board [1].
Having the board name in the variable name is a good indicator that the
pin configuration needs to be adapted when taking this file as a template
for a new port. If it was board independent, a default chip configuration
could be used and shared between all boards, which is unfortunately not
the case.

[1] Unfortunately I was not able to find Jens’ comment in my mail archive
    and in the Gerrit Web interface. Not sure where it is, but I am sure
    he made that comment.

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
