The FSP source code is supposedly leaked as part of this, which is used to initialise the memory controller. Are we closer to (modern) blob-free Intel platforms?

CloseR, yes. Close? No. For one, memory init code differs from product gen to product gen and pulls in platform/board specific libraries and inputs to set up some parameters. The bigger problem though is just how big and messy the memory init code is. It would take a substantial number of people a substantial amount of time to unwind and understand what's going on, let alone do a sane and/or clean-room implementation of it all.
