src/soc/intel/fsp_baytrail/Kconfig:

The baytrail FSP was added in Coreboot by the commit
954f3882f1ea8512de9a5a6a38569c36bffae405 ("Add the Bay Trail FSP
include & srx directories") by Martin Roth, proably not on behalf on
Intel.

The commit also contains an email address from Martin Roth with the
se-eng.com domain (from Sage Electronic Engineering) and doesn't
contain any email address related to Intel. This increase the
probability that Intel wasn't involved in adding the Bay Trail FSP to
Coreboot.

Because of the (strong) doubts, the fact that the Bay Trail FSP was
also removed upstream and that GNU Boot doesn't support computers with
Intel Bay Trail, it's easier to just remove the nonfree software.
