It looks so far only FSP-M is used on your apollolake port.

What I'd like to see is a complete FSP 2.0 support in U-Boot, which
means we need FSP-T for the CAR and FSP-S for the silicon-specific
initialization. With FSP-S, I believe most of your platform support
codes in this patch series are no longer needed.
