ACPI CPU https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/36258 here we tried to reduce problem https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/36258 Above patch introduce compliance with most recent version of ACPI spec breaking in the same way BSD (FreeBSD < 12.2 and < 13, most of downstream firewall distros which are based on older FreeBSD). 2. ACPI hostbridge https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/36318 further reverted https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/37710 we also tried to fix problem according to spec https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/37835 but since PCS This caused PCI detection issues.
