Supermicro have been carrying this patch:

https://github.com/supermicro/p8dtu-op-build/blob/trusted_boot/openpower/package/skiboot/skiboot-0001-add-p8dtu1u-and-p8dtu2u-mode-in-skiboot.patch

Which I think could be done better :)

It's likely a balance between what's in the OEM space and what actually
differs between platforms.
