IS AMD Returning to Open-Source BIOS/Coreboot Support?

An anonymous reader quotes Phoronix:
Back on the AMD EPYC 7002 “Rome” launch day I wrote about how AMD is working to return to open-source BIOS/Coreboot support and now there’s further confirmation of their work in that direction. We were tipped off Friday that AMD’s Head of Platform Firmware, Edward Benyukhis, publicly posted on LinkedIn that he is “looking to hire someone with solid Coreboot and UEFI background.” If you have Coreboot experience or know someone who is, see LinkedIn for contacting Benyukhis. That’s exciting itself and certainly noteworthy, but also notable is AMD is now sponsoring next week’s Open-Source Firmware Conference. AMD has joined the likes of Amazon AWS, Arm, System76, TrustedFirmware.org, and other companies in sponsoring this conference about Coreboot, LinuxBoot, and related open-source firmware projects.
