util/cbfstool: Decouple elogtool from vboot_ref flashrom code Currently elogtool sub-proccesses flashrom as calling libflashrom requires a missing function from the previous flashrom release. Pending a new release of flashrom we must continue to use subprocess. However the current subprocess wrapper implementation lives in vboot_reference which is a git sub-module of coreboot. This causes all sorts of grief keeping a subprocess ABI stable from vboot_reference when the rest of vboot_reference builds of HEAD of the flashrom tree (i.e., using unreleased libflashrom functions). In order to not keep finding ourseleves in a bind between the two separately moving trees with different build environments, decouple elogtool with its own mini copy of flashrom subprocess wrapping logic. Squash in, util/cbfstool/elogtool.c: Convert args into struct in flashrom helper vboot signatures for flashrom r/w helpers changed in the upstream commit bd2971326ee94fc5. Reflect the change here to allow vboot ref and coreboot to realign. BUG=b:207808292,b:231152447 TEST=builds with vboot_ref uprev.

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.
With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.
See https://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.
coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).Optional:
make menuconfig
and make nconfig
)Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.
If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run coreboot virtually in QEMU.
Please see https://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.
