mb/prodrive/hermes: Allow using the Intel iGPU as primary
Configure the Intel iGPU as primary video adapter if enabled according
to EEPROM settings. The default is to use the ASPEED BMC as primary
video adapter, which only has a VGA output and the remote KVM output.
For now, use the FSP GOP driver to light up the iGPU. There are several
issues with libgfxinit on the Hermes, probably due to the unusual setup
of the iGPU's display outputs. They are routed to a mezzanine connector
for a piggy-back sub-board, of which there are two models. The Poseidon
piggy-back has two DisplayPort outputs and an HDMI output coming from a
MegaChips LSPCON. The Avalanche piggy-back routes all three DisplayPort
outputs from the iGPU into a FPGA, which acts as a DisplayPort sink.
Note that the FSP GOP only initializes at most 2 iGPU display outputs.
However, all three outputs function properly once OS (Windows, Linux)
graphics drivers take over.
Additionally, update the config file that Prodrive uses to build
coreboot images so that the iGPU can be used as primary.
TEST=Verify that the iGPU's outputs work properly in pre-OS, Windows and
Linux, on both the Poseidon and Avalanche piggy-backs.

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.
