I have. I have the relevant patchset up for review: 
https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/blobs/+/23315/
and currently always apply it on top of my coreboot build (for the 
Thinkpad X230 in
my case; has then revision "1f" and verified functionality using 
https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker
or similar tools)
