I'm in contact with Simon, thanks for the notice. He also did a lot of
work on getting U-Boot running as a standalone bootloader on some x86
platforms (e.g. MinnowMax). I understand that it is debatable, if this
is "needed" or not. Even though diversity might help all parties - at
least from my point of view.

In this special case, I might have triggered a bug / issue in the Intel
FSP and solving this might also help the coreboot project / community.

Thanks,
Stefan
