I don't see the command you used to flash -- what was that? You also
didn't clear the WP range (flashrom --wp-range 0,0) which has
historically been needed on small core/Atom boards, but if you didn't
get an error flashing/erasing then you're probably fine.

display backlight means it's booted to ramstage, since that's where
FSP-S will init the backlight. It most likely means coreboot ran
successfully and the payload is the issue.

How to debug? Get yourself a Suzy-Q cable, rebuild with the serial
console enabled, flash via Suzy-Q, and then monitor via the
/dev/ttyUSB1 serial port (CPU UART)

if you want to try a tested/verified prebuilt image w/Tianocore
payload, you can use:
