Great, thanks! I understand that as platform ages, it gets less development, I was mostly asking because I saw that coffeelake FSP headers are in coreboot but there are no FSP images for coffeelake on github yet, which is basically the same/similar issue as what we complained about with regards to Kabylake, and your answer was only about Kabylake, so I was hoping other platforms are "in the works" for being kept up to date between public and "internal" releases.
Thanks, Youness.
