Currently U-Boot environment address is at offset 0x7fe00 of a 8MB
SPI flash. When creating a partial u-boot.rom image without flash
descriptor and ME firmware, U-Boot actually occupies the last 1MB
of the flash, and reprograming U-Boot causes previous environment
settings get lost which is not convenient during testing.
Adjust the environment address to 0x6ef000 instead (before the MRC
cache data region in the flash).

This adds basic support for chromebook_samus. This is the 2015 Pixel and
is based on an Intel broadwell platform.
Supported so far are:
- Serial
- SPI flash
- SDRAM init (with MRC cache)
- SATA
- Video (on the internal LCD panel)
- Keyboard
Various less-visible drivers are provided to make the above work (e.g. PCH,
power control and LPC).
The platform requires various binary blobs which are documented in the
README. The major missing feature is USB3 since the existing U-Boot support
does not work correctly with Intel XHCI controllers.
