[coreboot] Gigabyte GA AMD E350N USB3 Board

[Marek]

Hi Tom and Niklas,

What about the DB_PORT programming header? Is the dual BIOS stored on the MX25L1606EM2I-12G chip? I'm not interested in USB3 that much although it's a nice and useful feature but it seems to be a very good board in general.

No answer most likely means that there isn't anyone who owns this board so far, so I just pushed all information I could find out without buying that board in case someone wants to buy one and add coreboot support for it.
