David Hendricks 086b369dfc armv7: replace read/write macros with inlines
This enables type checking for safety as to help prevent errors like
http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/3038/ . Now compilation fails if the
wrong type is passed into readb/readw/readl/writeb/writew/writel
or other macros in io.h.

This also deprecates readw/writew. The previous definition was 16-bits
which is incorrect since wordsize on ARMv7 is 32-bits and there was
only 1 instance of writew (#if 0'd anyway). Going forward we should
always use read{8,16,32} and write{8,16,32} where N specifies the
exact length rather than relying on ambiguous definition of wordsize.

Since many macros relied on __raw_*, which were basically the same
(minus data memory barrier instructions), this patch also gets rid
of __raw_*. There were parts of the code which ended up using these
macros consecutively, for example:
	setbits_le32(&regs->ch_cfg, SPI_CH_RST);
	clrbits_le32(&regs->ch_cfg, SPI_CH_RST);

In such cases the safe versions of readl() and writel() should be
used anyway.

Note: This also fixes two dubious casts as to avoid breaking
compilation.

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 http://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:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://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 http://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:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
