Thanks.

I don't understand the question. The superiotool output you attached
looks OK.

The empty DMI strings are due to you running on coreboot (which doesn't

Hm, I guess this string could use some clarification/rewording, it
probably just confuses most users (including myself).

Looks good.

We'll mark your board as supported soon.
