Scott Radcliffe f5fcedfbc4 drivers/spi: Add support for Micron N25Q128
Support added for Micron N25Q128 SPI flash, which has
the same manufacturer id as ST Micro. Jedec ID =
0x20 0xBB 0x18. Since existing stmicro.c only compares
the last device id byte, this flash is mistakenly
identified as M25P128, which has ID = 0x20 0x20 0x18.

To handle this situation and avoid breaking code for
existing devices, a two byte .id member is added.
New devices should be added to the beginning of the
flash table array with .idcode = STM_ID_USE_ALT_ID and
.id = the two byte jedec device id.

A 4KB subsector erase capability is added and used for
this new device. It requires using a different SPI
op-code supported by adding .op_erase member. Previous
devices defined in stmicro.c are assigned their original
op-code for 64KB sector erase.

N25Q128 is now working on a custom designed Bayley Bay
based board. Tested by verifying the MRC fastboot cache
is successfully (re)written. Note that previous devices
were not retested.

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:
