It's not really a CPU family thing at all, but about the
implementation otherwise. It's one fix for all AGESA, one for all
binaryPI, and a third one for native amdfam10-15.

My suggestion on moving forwards with amdfam10-15 is as follows:

The next release is scheduled for Oct 2019 (?). Regardless of when
that happens, I would introduce a flag on the October 1st that
disables all amdfam10-15 boards from the automatic build. Then, if we
have anyone capable and willing to have this amdfam10-15 stay on
master branch, she/he would get to select one mainboard for which the
build would remain enabled. The platform code then needs to go through
the transitions of =>RELOCATABLE_RAMSTAGE, =>POSTCAR_STAGE,
=>C_ENVIRONMENT_BOOTBLOCK. During that process, any remaining #include
<*.c> are to be removed and regressions other amdfam10-15 boards
__are__ allowed and will be ignored as the builds are disabled, Once
the reference platform reaches a state where it fulfills the release
requirements, interested parties can port the necessary changes to
individual motherboards. Providing boot-logs is a necessity. At the
time of next release, boards that don't build will have their source
files removed.
