It is - even if it's indirect, I can break/fix the splash with TOP_DOWN=n or y

The two I've tested don't have that problem.

Seems like the root cause is CB:76127, apparently, edk2 thinks the DSDT has already been added so it says Access Denied, so revert CB:76143 and CB:76127 and it'll boot with TOP_DOWN=y.
TOP_DOWN does break some things in edk2 that don'...

SR 11:04 AM coreboot Bug #499: coreboot will not boot edk2 on Lenovo T440p with CONFIG_RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_TOP_DOWN enabled, cannot disable this setting during build
Seems to affect more than Haswell, as I can reproduce on ADL and RDL w/ UefiPayloadPkg or UPL.
It's asserting on L1900 of MdeModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/AcpiTableDxe/AcpiTableProtocol.c

SR 10:36 AM coreboot Feature #477: Excessive Power Draw with USB-PD
Already advised to set the power profile to `Power Saver`, as that limits overall draw to 30W.
Currently no way to write MSRs with UPL handling SMM.

You can't use edk2 and a secondary payload. The X200s were all tested recently with MrChromeboxs fork and all working - so if you enable that on master,...

SR 11:09 AM coreboot Bug #415 (Resolved): RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_TOP_DOWN breaks booting
CB:41957 enabled RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_TOP_DOWN by default, which stopped edk2 from booting. The commit has been reverted, so this ticket is just to post logs. Sean Rhodes

SR 05:46 PM coreboot Bug #332 (Resolved): I selected payload Tianocore Upstream (not UEFIPayload) but its still using MrChromebox UEFIPayload files?
The old makefile used to add upstream as a remote, which is why it looks like it's using MrChromebox. It does, and always has, built from the correct repo. Sean Rhodes
