Legacy Super I/O support in BIOS

Although COM Express™ is meant for legacy free systems there still often is the need for legacy

interfaces like serial port, parallel port, floppy, etc.

To make an adaption of these ports possible the BIOS of COM Express™ modules has integrated

support for LPC SUPER I/O chips. For detailed description, please see the COM Express™ Design

Guide.
