Hi

The work for LATE -> EARLY CBMEM transition for AGESA has been
available for review since February 2017. It's probably announced or
mentioned only briefly on the mailing list, but certainly very visible
on gerrit.

Unfortunately people currently working on AMD platforms did not show
much interest to review that work. Luckily, devs from chromeos team
(who had no commercial interest, but maybe strings attached) stepped
in the reviews so that the groundwork of AGESA interface changes got
done and reviewed. What's left is merging the individual board
changes, which I am about to do very soon now. Some regressions
expected, most of the old defects remain unfixed.

I should thank the couple individuals and companies that contributed
by covering some costs of this development. Still, that does not
magically turn all these boards into status of "maintained".

Now, this applies to everyone: please push status updates for the
boards you have access to, otherwise majority of AGESA boards just hit
that deprecation in the next cycle of board removals. Also, when you
create a board port and you go through all the trouble of getting it
past (my strict or someone else's less strict) review policy, is it
REALLY that hard to run board_status script? You know who you are. Is
there something we need to do better here? Provide OS boot images just
for this purpose?

As for binaryPI boards, those are at EARLY_CBMEM_INIT starting from August 2.

As for K8/K10, your help is needed in testing. This is particularly
for boards with multiple CPU packages (nodes).

HTH,
Kyösti
