drivers/intel/fsp2_0: Allow larger FSPS UPD than expected in coreboot
Enforcing the exact match of FSPS UPD block size between FSP and
coreboot mandates simultaneous updates to coreboot and FSP repos. Allow
coreboot to proceed if its UPD structure is smaller than FSP one. This
usually indicates that FSPS has an updated (larger) UPD structure which
should be soon matched/updated on the coreboot side to keep them in
sync.
While this is an undesirable situation that should be corrected
ASAP, it is safe from coreboot perspective. It is safe (as long as
default values in FSP UPD are sane enough to boot) because FSPS UPD
buffer is allocated on the heap with the size specified in FSPS
(larger) and filled with FSPS default values. This allows FSP UPD
changes to be submitted first followed by changes in coreboot repo.
Note that this only applies to the case when entire FSPS UPD structure
grows which should be rare as FSP should allocate enough reserve space,
anticipating future expansion, to keep the structure from growing when
new members are added.
