payloads/tianocore: default to MrChromebox's working branch Rather than attempt to maintain patches against upstream Tianocore, use MrChromebox's coreboot framebuffer branch as the default build target. Rework the Makefile to default to MrChromebox's coreboot_fb branch, but also allow for aribitrary commits from upstream Tianocore to be used as build targets. Ensure the branch is synced on each build, as long as working directory is clean, and that switching between commits or trees is handled sanely. Eliminate TIANOCORE_MASTER as a selectable build target, since unpatched it is unlikely to boot on any device. It can easily be specified via the 'revision' option if desired. Test: build for the default stable target, for upstream/master as the specified revision, and for an arbitrary valid commit hash.

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.
