Motherboard based on the Intel Rangeley Atom C2000 (C2758) processor. On the board installed Nuvoton NCT6776F/D superIO. For its correct operation, a frequency of 48 MHz is necessary, which must be enabled by write some bits in IDT clock synthesizer (9VRS4420DKLFT). The configuration of the synthesizer is made thrue SMBus0, synthesizer address is 0x69.
As the base, I used the source code of the reference Intel motherboard MohonPeak. Initialization should be done as early as possible - preferable before FSP initializing. At main() function in coreboot/src/southbridge/intel/fsp_rangeley/romstage.c. For example after early_mainboard_romstage_entry() function call and before fsp_early_init function call).
The problem is that after just reading byte on the SMBus0 initialization of FSP fails. I specifically conducted the experiments - I did not load the synthesizer, but simply read through SMBus0. Coerboot hangs with post code 0x92 (Going to call into FSP binary for MemoryInit phase #define POST_FSP_MEMORY_INIT 0x92). If I move my code after FSP initialization, the system was booting normal.
How can the reading by SMBus0 affect the FSP initialization process (FSP_MEMORY_INIT)? During the FSP_MEMORY_INIT process, FSP must read data from the memory modules SPD eeprom (thrue SMBus/i2c 0x50, 0x52). Maybe this is the problem? Is it possible to return SMBus0 controller to its initial state after using?

I'd check the smbus base address right before the FSP starts with and without your change. If it's only set with your change, then try clearing it before calling the FSP. See what the BAR is after the FSP runs, and make sure that the address coreboot is using is the same. The early FSPs had a bad habit of dying if any register values weren't what they expected.

Hello,
If the board you have is not exactly the Intel Mohonpeak RVP, using the RVP code as-is on your board is bound to fail, and can even cause damage (shortcircuits on GPIO pins).
