Currently the ROM_SIZE is hardcoded to 8MB in arch/x86/Kconfig. This
will not be the case when adding additional board support. Hence we
make ROM_SIZE configurable (512KB/1MB/2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB) and have the
board Kconfig file select the default ROM_SIZE.

Rename this vendor since it is intended to be used on any platform where
coreboot runs at reset and then loads U-Boot.
So far it is only tested on link. When other boards are supported it is
likely that we will need to move to multiple board names, all under the
'coreboot' vendor. So while it would be possible to remove the vendor for
now, that would be short-sighted.

Implement SDRAM init using the Memory Reference Code (mrc.bin) provided in
the board directory and the SDRAM SPD information in the device tree. This
also needs the Intel Management Engine (me.bin) to work. Binary blobs
everywhere: so far we have MRC, ME and microcode.
SDRAM init works by setting up various parameters and calling the MRC. This
in turn does some sort of magic to work out how much memory there is and
the timing parameters to use. It also sets up the DRAM controllers. When
the MRC returns, we use the information it provides to map out the
available memory in U-Boot.
U-Boot normally moves itself to the top of RAM. On x86 the RAM is not
generally contiguous, and anyway some RAM may be above 4GB which doesn't
work in 32-bit mode. So we relocate to the top of the largest block of
RAM we can find below 4GB. Memory above 4GB is accessible with special
functions (see physmem).
It would be possible to build U-Boot in 64-bit mode but this wouldn't
necessarily provide any more memory, since the largest block is often below
4GB. Anyway U-Boot doesn't need huge amounts of memory - even a very large
ramdisk seldom exceeds 100-200MB. U-Boot has support for booting 64-bit
kernels directly so this does not pose a limitation in that area. Also there
are probably parts of U-Boot that will not work correctly in 64-bit mode.
The MRC is one.
There is some work remaining in this area. Since memory init is very slow
(over 500ms) it is possible to save the parameters in SPI flash to speed it
up next time. Suspend/resume support is not fully implemented, or at least
it is not efficient.
With this patch, link boots to a prompt.

Add support for CAR so that we have memory to use prior to DRAM init.
On link there is a total of 128KB of CAR available, although some is
used for the memory reference code.

On x86 machines U-Boot needs to be added to a large ROM image which is
then flashed onto the target board. The ROM has a particular format so it
makes sense for U-Boot to build this image automatically. Unfortunately
it relies on binary blobs so we cannot require this for the default
build as yet.
Create a u-boot.rom output file for this purpose.

This board is a 'bare' version of the existing 'link 'board. It does not
require coreboot to run, but is intended to start directly from the reset
vector.
This initial commit has place holders for a wide range of features. These
will be added in follow-on patches and series. So far it cannot be booted
as there is no ROM image produced, but it does build without errors.

The private libgcc is supported only on ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SH, x86.
Those architectures should "select" HAVE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC and
CONFIG_USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC should depend on it.
Currently, this option is enabled on Tegra boards and x86 architecture.
Move the definition from header files to Kconfig.

Now the types of CONFIG_SYS_{ARCH, CPU, SOC, VENDOR, BOARD, CONFIG_NAME}
are specified in arch/Kconfig.
We can delete the ones in arch and board Kconfig files.
This commit can be easily reproduced by the following command:
find . -name Kconfig -a ! -path ./arch/Kconfig | xargs sed -i -e '
/config[[:space:]]SYS_\(ARCH\|CPU\|SOC\|\VENDOR\|BOARD\|CONFIG_NAME\)/ {
N
s/\n[[:space:]]*string//
}

This commit adds:
- arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
provide a menu to select target boards
- board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
- configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
default setting of each board
(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)
In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.
