It was the plausible reason for the revert:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/30830 where seemingly legit
code change trigger bugs.

Like with many RAM related problems on same platform(s) running with
upstream coreboot, those with hardware have not bisected or debugged
this further to have definite answers. I can tell AGESA fam14 has
issues with AP's accessing CAR.

Unless platform meets release requirements, there will be a commit to
remove offending/bad code with explanations. As noted earlier, pretty
much none of the promises from last five years to
debug/bisect/improve, by various people on the mailing list, have not
been fulfilled. My goodwill with fam10-15 is long gone.
