Good day, Martin! Thank you for your message, I understand the need to reduce the load on coreboot infrastructure and just replied here - https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/58745/comments/5317bf46_d9bcae15 ; although only 8 changes of csb_patcher's 24 are "useless" to build - like this one above - I will be happy to do my part by cancelling their builds (if the git pushes won't be blocked by the lack of "signed-off-by-line"). Speaking of a fork idea:
To ensure the best possible user experience of "opensource AGESA board" users I am caring about, my intention - instead of traditional forking (the forks are always outdated) - is to stay as-close-as-possible to coreboot master to enjoy the benefits such as the improvements to common PCI-handling code and the updated payloads. To do that, I am going to "semi-fork" by composing a long list of "git revert's" (to remove the commits which drop our boards or somehow break them) . Although the users will have to apply all these git reverts (in addition to two current ones which downgrade a GCC to 8.3.0 version that is stable for us - see CB:59636 for more info), and I will have to do the additional maintenance of this list to stay compatible with the new commits arriving, in return the "opensource AGESA board" users will have a much fresher coreboot, so I am ready to volunteer for this during my free time. I have been supporting our community for many years already and can't let the people down, even though the unfortunate removal of our boards is making the things more time-consuming and tricky...
