Vadim Bendebury 0b341b341d ipq/arm: Redesign hooks for bootblock
The following patches had to be squashed
to properly build all the different ARM boards.

ipq8064: storm: re-arrange bootblock initialization

The recent addition of the storm bootblock initialization broke
compilation of Exynos platforms. The SOC specific code needs to be
kept in the respective source files, not in the common CPU code.

As of now coreboot does not provide a separate SOC initialization API.
In general it makes sense to invoke SOC initialization from the board
initialization code, as the board knows what SOC it is running on.

Presently all what's need initialization on 8064 is the timer. This
patch adds the SOC initialization framework for 8064 and moves there
the related code.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:27784
TEST=manual
  . nyan_big, peach_pit, and storm targets build fine now.

arm: Redesign mainboard and SoC hooks for bootblock

This patch makes some slight changes to the way bootblock_cpu_init() and
bootblock_mainboard_init() are used on ARM. Experience has shown that
nearly every board needs either one or both of these hooks, so having
explicit Kconfigs for them has become unwieldy. Instead, this patch
implements them as a weak symbol that can be overridden by mainboard/SoC
code, as the more recent arm64_soc_init() is also doing.

Since the whole concept of a single "CPU" on ARM systems has kinda died
out, rename bootblock_cpu_init() to bootblock_soc_init(). (This had
already been done on Storm/ipq806x, which is now adjusted to directly
use the generic hook.) Also add a proper license header to
bootblock_common.h that was somehow missing.

Leaving non-ARM32 architectures out for now, since they are still using
the really old and weird x86 model of directly including a file. These
architectures should also eventually be aligned with the cleaner ARM32
model as they mature.

BRANCH=None
BUG=chrome-os-partner:32123
TEST=Booted on Pinky. Compiled for Storm and confirmed in the
disassembly that bootblock_soc_init() is still compiled in and called
right before the (now no-op) bootblock_mainboard_init().

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:

  http://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
