src/soc/intel/cmn/fast-spi: Add SSDT extension to fast SPI driver

If the SPI controller is hidden from the OS (which is default on Apollo
Lake) then OS has no chance to probe the device and therefore can not be
aware of the resources this PCI device occupies. If the OS needs to move
some resources for a reason it can happen that the new allocated window
will be shadowed by the hidden PCI device resource and hence causing a
conflict. As a result this MMIO window will be inaccessible from the OS
which will cause issues in applications. For instance on Apollo Lake
this causes flashrom to stop working.

This patch adds a SSDT extension for the PCI device if it is hidden from
the OS and reports the occupied resource via ACPI to the OS. For the
cases where the device is hidden later at coreboot runtime and therefore
is not marked as hidden in the PCI device itself a Kconfig switch called
'FAST_SPI_GENERATE_SSDT' is introduced. It defaults to 'no' and can be
set from SOC code to override it.

Since there is no defined ACPI ID for the fast SPI controller available
now, the generic one (PNP0C02) is used.

Test: Boot mc_apl4 and make sure flashrom works again.

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:

  • doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
  • 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.
