+Subject: [PATCH] do not break building other thinkpads with the hacks for the
+ t480/s made Mate Kukri
+
+still not fixing things properly but at least it should now be possible to build older thinkpads without regressions.
+prior, some code was just commented or unreachable. now we make this explicit with preprocessor directives.
+heads should build all boards on this coreboot version from the same coreboot tree.
