According to the description in datasheet of f71889,

"To enable configuration, the entry key 0x87 must be written to
the index port"

"
 -o 4e 87
 -o 4e 87       (enable configuration)
 -o 4e aa       (disable configuration)
"
This piece of text appears in most of the datasheet of fintek superio.
It doesnt say it quite clear, but it seems that the 0x87 should
be written twice. I tried on f81865, which is not in the coreboot tree
yet. If the 0x87 is only written once, you can only R/W the index/data
port once. All the subsequent RW will fail. Writing twice will be ok.

Plus, in the superiotool, the function
enter_conf_mode_winbond_fintek_ite_8787
also write 8787.

The fintek superio chips seem to enable the UART automatically when the
power is on. So I didnt find it failed to access.
