Intel Adds Skylake/Braswell Boards To Coreboot: Kunimitsu, Cyan, RPV3, Strago

Skylake is around the corner and now after an Intel engineer added Skylake SoC support to Coreboot, that work has been extended by adding support for the first Skylake motherboards in Coreboot.

Intel's Lee Leahy has committed support for the Kunimitsu Skylake motherboard, the Skylake RPV3, and Strago (Braswell-based) motherboard, and Cyan to upstream Coreboot. It's great to see Intel adding support for new motherboards to Coreboot, but they still rely on the closed-source FSP code for support.
