drivers/i2c/rx6110sa: Add a Kconfig switch to disable ACPI support In commit b64db833d6 a basic ACPI support was added to the driver. With this support an SSDT-entry is created for this RTC and it is now visible to the OS via ACPI. In Linux the PNP-devices, which are reported over ACPI, are scanned rather early and if the entry is found, the device is claimed even if there is no driver available yet. In this case, when the native RTC-driver without ACPI-support is loaded and tries to register this device, the RTC is already blocked by the PNP-drivers and cannot be used anymore. This leads to a non-usable RTC on kernels where the needed ACPI-extension is not yet merged into the RTC driver. This patch provides a way to disable the ACPI-support for the RTC if needed.

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.

ANY_TOOLCHAIN
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.
