@natterangell missing for thinkpads: EC controller blob, upgraded only per proprietary upgrade prior of Heads flash on proprietary firmware (outside of SPI flash).
Not required but still true: firmware in the controllers of our hardrives if not using OpenSSD project. (Nobody known to use this academic project).
@tlaurion I added a section on the EC. Forgive me if I clutter the history, I am new to git. Let me know if amending and force-pushing is not the preferred way to handle edits like this.
@natterangell thanks!
Describes some of the issues involved due to lack of future microcode updates for supported ThinkPads and how this relates to binary blobs and transient execution vulnerabilities.
This meant as a start to request made here.
