drivers/i2c/sx9324: Add support for Linux's SX9324 driver

SX9324 driver is updated per Linux's documentation found at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/proximity/semtech,sx9324.yaml

Supporting logic for the deprecated SX932x driver is hence guarded by
DRIVERS_I2C_SX9324_SUPPORT_LEGACY_LINUX_DRIVER

This patch by itself does not introduce functional changes to any board.
The legacy SX932x Linux driver never reached upstream Linux and is only
available in ChromeOS kernel fork of 4.4 and 5.4. Linux later accepted
a different implementation named SX9324 and has been available since
5.4. Ideally all variants should adopt the new driver; however, during
the transition phase, coreboot must support both drivers. It is better
to have a single firmware build that can work with both Linux kernel
drivers by specifying both sets of properties. Legacy driver support
should be deleted once all variants finish migration.

BUG=b:242662878
TEST=Dump ACPI SSDT then verify _DSD entries related to the legacy
     SX932x driver are identical w/ and w/o this patch
     (Tested on Craask and Nivviks)

coreboot README

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.

Payloads

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.

Supported Hardware

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

Build Requirements

  • make
  • gcc / g++ Because Linux distribution compilers tend to use lots of patches. coreboot does lots of "unusual" things in its build system, some of which break due to those patches, sometimes by gcc aborting, sometimes - and that's worse - by generating broken object code. Two options: use our toolchain (eg. make crosstools-i386) or enable the ANY_TOOLCHAIN Kconfig option if you're feeling lucky (no support in this case).
  • iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
  • pkg-config
  • libssl-dev (openssl)

Optional:

  • gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
  • ncurses (for make menuconfig and make nconfig)
  • flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)

Building coreboot

Please consult https://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.

Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware

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.

Website and Mailing List

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:
