sconfig: Split up sconfig-generated static.h Currently sconfig generates a `static.h` to accompany `static.c`. However, some payloads may decide they would like to consume the FW_CONFIG macros as well. The current state of `static.h` makes this impossible (relying on `device/device.h`). This patch splits up `static.h` into 3 files: `static.h, `static_devices.h`, and `static_fw_config.h`. `static.h` simply includes the other two `.h` files to ensure no changes are needed to other code. `static_devices.h` contains the extern'd definitions of the device names recently introduced to sconfig. `static_fw_config.h` contains the FW_CONFIG_FIELD_* macros only, which makes it easily consumable by a payload which wishes to use FW_CONFIG. Also refactor the generation of all these output files, as the code was getting messy.

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.
