nb/intel/haswell: Don't unconditionally set DEVEN

The existing code sets DEVEN with the intention of enabling the IGD and
Mini-HD audio. However, according to the datasheet [1] and some testing
on hardware, the bits in DEVEN are set by default if and only if the
straps/fuses say the device should be enabled. To illustrate this, here
are a few initial values of DEVEN on some Haswell systems:

	Supermicro X10SLM+-F:  0x0000002d
	ASRock H81M-HDS:       0x00000039
	Acer C720:             0x000000b1

On the X10SLM+-F, the IGD is disabled by default, and PEG10 & PEG11
are enabled by default. On the C720, the PEG devices are all disabled
by default, while the IGD and Mini-HD audio are already enabled.

There are two issues that result from the existing behaviour: PEG
devices are unconditionally disabled, and devices are set as enabled
when it's not actually possible to enable them.

So, don't touch the DEVEN register at this stage, as there are no
benefits.

Interestingly, on an Acer C720 (Google Peppy), a PCI device 00:04.0
appears. It is a thermal sensor. `powerstat` was used to measure idle
power usage over 30 minutes under Debian GNU/Linux 9.6. There was no
change in reported power draw.

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.

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:
