I'm going to sum it all what we have

ALIX family boards (https://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm):
CPU -> AMD Geode LX CPU
Stays as it is different because it has a different CPU

APU family boards (https://www.pcengines.ch/apu.htm):
CPU -> AMD G series T40E APU
Remove the related APU2 family stuff from the LEDs driver
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/leds/leds-apu.c
this will be handled in the future by the platform device
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c
The other GPIOs are not supported by this platform. Only LEDs are
supported for now.

APU2 family boards (https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm):
CPU -> AMD Embedded G series GX-412TC
Add the additional mpcie reset pins and add additional board
descriptions to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/platform/x86/pcengines-apuv2.c?h=v5.2#n61
so we can distinguish between the APU2,APU3 and APU4 boards of the APU2
board family.

My research in the pcengines documentation shows the following GPIO pins
for the individual boards which we can support.

APU2:
front-led1
front-led2
front-led3
front-button
mpcie2_reset
mpcie3_reset

APU3:
front-led1
front-led2
front-led3
front-button
mpcie2_reset
mpcie3_reset
simswap

APU4:
front-led1
front-led2
front-led3
front-button
mpcie2_reset
mpcie3_reset

Until now we support aAPU2 and APU3 and treat it the same way. But the
APU2 does not have a simswap.

Kind regards

Florian
