Hi, Well my system have only 4.10-637 coreboot version, so I don't know if it is relevant.
My Kontron 986LCD-M (supported by coreboot) does the SMP without a problem. Kernel 4.20.0-rc2 (I didn't see any problem with current slackware kernel too). GPU is radeon RX460, kernel parameters "amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffffffb amdgpu.dc=1 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200,keep pci=assign-busses,pcie_scan_all,realloc raid=noautodetect acpi_enforce_resources =lax video=1440x900MR fbcon=map:0 memory_corruption_check=0 resume=/dev/sda1 resume_offset=260096" (but there are most likely some redundant ones - accumulated from testing). Suspend to HDD doesn't work (I think). I've had to modify coreboot's devicetree as some superio devices requires to be defined even if not used (otherwise the resource allocator goes mad).
