Rockchip AFAIK doesn't have any. It boots with mainline u-boot, but it doesn't include any wifi or other radios.

It os definitely more open than most, thanks! I'm pretty sure it still has the masked boot rom before getting to the open bits. While the tpl and ddr are still blobs and might harbor naughtiness, people have at least figured out how to edit the blobs https://github.com/hbiyik/rkddr

U-boot for Rockchip builds it's own TPL. I'm using it right now. It can also use Rockchip's TPL, but that's optional, not the default. DDR training code is here:

Also, libreboot supports quite a bit of hardware. What binary blobs are left of you have one of those systems?
