Although I have participated in a number of reviews of coreboot patches, I/we have not directly upstreamed any patches to coreboot.org. As a pure consulting service, the ports and customizations that we have made to coreboot to support our clients' hardware (including the work done for Intel) is turned over to the client at the end of each project to do with as they please. If they choose to upstream it or not to coreboot.org is really up to them, and if they do, it would get upstreamed by them, not by us, since they then own the code.
You could change the terms, I guess. Many people don't care that much. So you could ask your clients ahead if they'd agree to license the code under the GPL (or maybe only the parts that are not in their mainboard/ dir). If somebody agrees and it turns out later that there is a commit that could benefit upstream, you can push it.
