Because the pci spec doesn't allow for it to be set in software. I coded up some common idioms, when I implemented the support. But there is a lot of variation of where you have to write to set those values. > Except non-matching drivers and non-matching flashrom entries? > I think some vendor tools use subsystem IDs as a way to verify they are > running on hardware of a specific vendor. Which is what they are there for. Eric -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
