support for FSP 1.0 was dropped, but FSP 1.1 is still used by Braswell
and supported in coreboot master

the biggest issue would be that even if coreboot did entirely drop
support for FSP 1.x in master, there would still be older
tags/branches from which boards using FSP 1.x could be built, and
moving those FSP binaries out of the master branch would break
building of those boards without changes to the older coreboot
branches to handle that, which would become quite tricky if one then
needs to support pulling FSP from multiple branches
