[coreboot] Query to release the code for new board

Hi Mayuri,
  coreboot does not share the TXE or descriptor.bin files for the
boards.  In the instructions from Intel for the BayleyBay CRB, it
tells you to build coreboot as a 3MB rom file and to flash that to the
top of the ROM chip, so as to not overwrite the TXE & Descriptor on
the board.

That said, since you own a Minnowboard Turbot, you can get the full
UEFI rom file and extract the descriptor & TXE files from there using
ifdtool -x.
See the build script for the Minnowboard Max:
