Hi Everyone,
Given that the newest coreboot releases have not supported the FSP 1.x specification for years now
support for FSP 1.0 was dropped, but FSP 1.1 is still used by Braswell and supported in coreboot master
seems that the 1.x FSP binaries at https://github.com/intel/FSP have become increasingly limited in their usefulness. For this reason, I would like to move those older binaries off master branch and create a new “legacy” branch to store them. I'll be sure to mention the legacy branch in the readme.md file in master. Any concerns with this change?
the biggest issue would be that even if coreboot did entirely drop support for FSP 1.x in master, there would still be older tags/branches from which boards using FSP 1.x could be built, and moving those FSP binaries out of the master branch would break building of those boards without changes to the older coreboot branches to handle that, which would become quite tricky if one then needs to support pulling FSP from multiple branches
Thanks, Nate
