soc/intel/alderlake: Add Kconfigs for all PCH types

The Alder Lake code currently supports the PCH-M and PCH-P types, which
have some differences (so far, only the amount of PCIe I/O). Mainboards
can use the `SOC_INTEL_ALDERLAKE_PCH_M` Kconfig option to specify which
PCH type they use: select the option to choose PCH-M, do not select the
option to choose PCH-P. While this works, it can be confusing once more
PCH types are added.

Introduce the `SOC_INTEL_ALDERLAKE_PCH_P` Kconfig option so that boards
have to explicitly choose a PCH type. Also, use this option to restrict
the PCH-P defaults for PCH-dependent settings to avoid unintended reuse
of the PCH-P defaults when adding a new PCH type. To make sure only one
PCH type is selected, add some preprocessor in `bootblock.h` to provoke
a build-time error if this requirement is not met. Kconfig doesn't seem
to have a mechanism to describe sets of mutually-exclusive bool options
that allows said options to be selected (a `choice` block doesn't allow
its elements to be selected). Finally, adapt the ADL boards accordingly.

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:
