it's actually not an array but a rather complex structure. You can
find some clues in the Skylake FSP Integration Guide [1] and also
in coreboot header files [2]. I have no idea why the documentation
was removed from future guides.

If you have DDR4 (SO)DIMMs, you probably shouldn't. [2] mentions that
it's for memory-down configurations with LPDDR3 only. And, AFAIR, an
investigation into the deep of the KBL FSP source didn't find any
relation to DDR4.

Please tell me if you find out ;) even Intel developers working on
coreboot don't know. Some insider came back quoting identifiers from
comments in the FSP header... identifiers nowhere to be found in
source/documentation.

My guess is that the targets are either computed or even measured by
some very confidential tool.
