It looks like a code drop of 0.76 actually got committed to the edk2
project a few days ago:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/3cbfba02fef9dae07a041fdbf2e89611d72d6f90

Upload BSD-licensed Vlv2TbltDevicePkg and Vlv2DeviceRefCodePkg to

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/,

which are for MinnowBoard MAX open source project.
