I just landed a somewhat large-ish feature that enables CBFS metadata caching across most boards (this will avoid reloading CBFS file headers from flash on every file lookup and ultimately increase boot speed): https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/38424
I wrote and tested it best as I could, but with the pandemic my access to different test platforms is limited. If anyone sees their platform break starting with this patch, please let me know, and if you need a quick fix just add `select NO_CBFS_MCACHE` to the respective board/platform Kconfig (this effectively disables the feature but without having to revert the whole patch and potential dependencies back out).
