Like I said, the update is here for anybody to cherry-pick and test:
https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/blobs/+/23315/

I expect this change to be merged sometime "soon", when reviewed.

Yes, they even updated sandybridge and ivybridge. (For those, you
only need the first of those 4 patches)

Intel doesn't seem to care about informing users directly, at least this 
time around.
They've worked with and for their "industry partners" and have left
packaging updates to BIOS vendors. In the end we have a full release
from Intel again though, so we're happy at last :)
