I don't think mentioning TME-L has any value.  The host doesn't interact 
with TME-L nor has any way to directly detect if TME-L is present.

I would suggest making this more generic - some devices (for example 
XXX) are unable to handle the non-standard ELF format of the FBC image 
and thus need special handling of the FBC image.

I wonder if it makes more sense to split the FBC image into two images 
for these devices.  One SBL image, and one AMSS image.  Feels like we 
would just need to detect if there is a separate AMSS image, and use 
that for BHIe.  Then we don't need to go manipulating the image (which I 
feel might be fragile).

Mani, do you have thoughts on this?

This would be good.  However it doesn't fully address my concern.

I hope you are using patch files and git send-email.  Before you send 
the patch file, please open it in your favorite editor and look at the 
second line.  It should start with "From:".  Right now, I suspect it 
looks like:

From: Qiang Yu <quic_qianyu@...cinc.com>

However, based on what you described, it should look like:

From: Mayank Rana <quic_mrana@...cinc.com>

The From: line tells us who originally authored the change (lets ignore 
changes with multiple authors for this discussion) and must match the 
first SOB listed.  Since Mayank authored the change and is the first SOB 
listed, the patch should be "from" him.

This seems good to me.  Remember to adjust your addition to the 
structure description comment when you do this.
