If no one picks it up from this mail, you can send an email to the flashrom
list and they'll update it.

Yes.  It won't matter much at first, but you'll want those correct.

You'll need to change those as well.

I don't know enough about this.

Only if the board has something there.  Many boards only have one HT link
used, which simplifies things.

You only need to add devices that:
1. Won't be found otherwise
2. Need some specific initialization
3. Are soldered to the mainboard

Everything else will be found and initialized automatically.

Good luck,
