Strip out sensitive information from BIOS dump

While debugging or reverse engineering a BIOS, what should be removed before sending a dump to someone else?

What else would be important to remove? What else in a BIOS could be useful to a 3rd party?

Removing the serial number and the BIOS password, if any, and you should be fine.

TPM keys and such are not stored in the BIOS (obviously).

What are you trying to protect yourself from? If you were, for example, doing a secure system, you just wouldn't send it -- who knows what might have been encoded covertly?
