remove haswell mrc blob (libre raminit stable now)
broadwell mrc is retained, because it's needed on 820 g2 it's no longer needed on haswell, because nri is stable. nri is short for "native ram initialisation", and libreboot provides this for: thinkpad t440p, thinkpad w541, dell optiplex 9020 mt, and dell optiplex 9020 sff remove, in line with libreboot's binary blob reduction policy previous revisions, prior to the recent release, stated that it would be retained for compatibility, but it's really not right to retain it, because doing so violates libreboot's policy the recent release excluded mrc-based rom images for haswell machines, providing only those rom images that use the libre raminit, while retaining support for mrc in the build system, so that users could still run the lbmk inject script on older release roms that use mrc again: libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is very clear: https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html it is a policy that can be summarised, thus: if a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided. therefore, we will avoid the Haswell MRC raminit blob Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
