This is the author of the rebased patches:

(Nicholas Johnson <nick@nicholasjohnson.ch>)
However, this is a *rebase* performed by Nicholas,
based on these patches:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=grub-improved-luks2-git
...at revision: 1c7932d90f1f62d0fd5485c5eb8ad79fa4c2f50d
The AUR patches were based on GRUB 2.06, whereas Nicholas's
rebase is upon grub 2.12, which Libreboot currently uses.
These patches import the PHC implementation of argon2i/id
key derivation functions, seen here:
https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2
GRUB (upstream) does not merge these patches and probably won't,
because even though they're libre, they're not copylefted or
otherwise under GPL terms that GRUB can accept.
Therefore, we in Libreboot must maintain these from now on,
for our version of GRUB. The upshot? LUKSv2 decryption should
now work, perfectly, in GRUB!

The keyboard fix for HP EliteBooks was merged upstream,
so lbmk no longer needs this patch; it comes with GRUB.

the deleted patch (in this commit) was written to fix an
issue theoretically; it hasn't been fully tested, and some
people have reported strange issues since this patch was
merged - there is no proof that this patch causes them, but
removing this patch is the correct thing to do regardless
This introduces a patch to grub which disables the coreboot
specific handling, allowing PS/2 keyboards to be handled the
same as i386-pc. However this alone breaks the keyboard in
Linux, requiring coreboot to perform PS/2 initialization.
I think GRUB may be restoring the original configuration of
the PS/2 controller once it exits, and if coreboot doesn't
initialize the controller then it's restored to the default
state which Linux doesn't seem to like. I think the emulated
keyboard interface provided by the EC on the E6400 behaves
in a non-standard way that is incompatible with the old
coreboot specific handling.
with this change, it's unlikely we'll hit errors again. previously,
some projects used were calling "python" which in context was
python3, but on some setups, the user only has python2 and python3
but no symlink for "python" (which if exists, we assumed linked to
python3)
now it's unambiguous. docs/build/ can probably be updated now, as
a result of this change, to remove the advice about that
mitigate missing characters in unifont for border/arrow characters. this saves
space because now it is no longer necessary to add a custom font
the background added has the libreboot logo on it, and it's 10kb in size unlike
the old gnulove background that was hundreds of KB
