Hi Patrick, I have cherry-picked your commit on top of coreboot main and I am 
testing on my T420. I will inform you of the results.

Bug #121: T520: Hangs in OS 
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/121#change-1817

* Author: Firstname Lastname
* Status: In Progress
* Priority: Normal
* Category: chipset configuration
* Start date: 2017-06-09
* Affected hardware: SNB, IVY
* Affected OS: -
----------------------------------------
I have been running coreboot since 2017.04.15 and have experienced hangs ever 
since then. It was suggested by folk on the IRC that I run memtest to check for 
incorrect raminit causing errors, however I have run memtest for 12 hours 
straight with no errors.

Due to the ambiguous nature of the hangs (immediate freeze with no warning 
signs, audio gets stuck repeating the last 50ms or so of noise, not sure what 
this effect is called) I don't have much useful information other than the 
.config and dmesg. However one thing I can say with high confidence is that the 
hangs occur significantly more frequently in Linux (*buntu distros) than 
Windows 10. Within an hour of launching Linux a hang is likely, whereas Windows 
typically runs for many hours before a hang occurs. I considered this an 
insignificant anecdotal anomaly at first but over the course of the nearly 2 
months I have been running coreboot it seems to be a solid trend. The hangs 
occur anywhere, typically during mere desktop usage or basic web browsing.

Additionally there is another form of hang I experience where the screen goes 
black except for some sort of graphical corruption down the left side 
(http://i.imgur.com/4zWrlpX.jpg), whether this is related to the more common 
total freeze hangs I don't know but I figured I should include it nonetheless. 
These hangs only occur about 1:20 compared to the regular hangs.
