Julius Werner 73be9dd82c arm64: Remove set_cntfrq() function
CNTFRQ_EL0 is a normal AArch64 architectural register like hundreds of
others that are all accessed through the raw_(read|write)_${register}()
family of functions. There's no reason why this register in particular
should have an inconsistent accessor, so replace all instances of
set_cntfrq() with raw_write_cntfrq_el0() and get rid of it.

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:

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


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:

  https://www.coreboot.org

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
