New major user-visible features
- Better support for AMD chipsets in general (speed selection, more conservative defaults etc.).
- Support for AMD Yangtze's SPI controller (found in Kabini and Tamesh). Bolton FCHs (A78, A88X, A77E) are not supported yet.
- Support for switching betweens chips on boards with GIGABYTE's DualBIOS.
- Enable fwh_idsel parameter for C-ICH and ICH2/3/4/5 chipsets.
- Extension of the rayer_spi module to supported various similar devices (Altera ByteBlasterMV, Atmel STK200/300, Wiggler LPT).
- Finer-grained display of support status (new states: configuration-dependent, not applicable).
New chips
- Atmel AT45DB family + AT45CS1282
- ESMT F25L32PA
