This type seems to just wrap a `u16`, and return its raw value without
any limitation for its range, or other functionality. It is just created
in `Chipset::fsp_cot_version`, to be immediately unpacked by
`Fsp::boot_fmc`. Why not just use a `u16` directly?

This is only used in the `fsp` module - can we turn this into a FSP HAL
method? That way it also won't need to return an `Option` since
`fsp_hal` will already have filtered architectures that don't support
FSP.
