I've updated Haswell NRI (native raminit) patches in Libreboot for ThinkPad T440p/W541, and added 9020 SFF/MT configs using it.

NRI replaces MRC; MRC is a blob from Intel for raminit. Libre code (NRI) is available from Angel Pons, replacing it; not all training steps done but it works well enough in my testing.

Angel updated it, fixing S3 suspend/resume. It's now in Libreboot. See:

Pretty cool!

I've decided that I will ship this configuration, on Minifree machines. See:

https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html

Libreboot policy is to remove as many blobs as possible, ideally all. Although not yet perfect, the libre raminit is good enough in my testing. I'm using it *myself*, on my own machine (a 9020 SFF).

I'll keep the MRC-based ROMs for now; Libreboot provides both haswell and broadwell MRC, and the libre raminit. So, three types of init per Haswell board. But now I recommend the libre raminit.
