I pushed this patch to Libreboot: https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/commit/?id=ed0678ae2e9b58b3eb9a7606816e21ad8798192e
It implements a decision:
The next Libreboot release will only provide ROM images with *libre* raminit, on Haswell (ThinkPad T440p/W541, Optiplex 9020).
This is in line with Libreboot's Binary Blob Reduction Policy: https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
MRC is a raminit blob. Libreboot has a free/opensource replacement written by Angel Pons. A recent update fixes S3 resume and is stable in my tests.
Next release ETA May 2024.
