Currently building U-Boot as the coreboot payload requires user
to change the build configuration for a specific board during
menuconfig process. This uses the board's native device tree
to configure the hardware. For example, the device tree provides
PCI address range for the PCI host controller and U-Boot will
re-program all PCI devices' BAR to be within this range. In order
to make sure we don't mess up the hardware, we should guarantee
the range matches what coreboot programs the chipset.
But we really should make the coreboot payload support easier.
Just like EFI payload, we can create a generic coreboot payload
for all x86 boards as well. The payload is configured to include
as many generic drivers as possible. All stuff that touches low
level initialization are not allowed as such is the coreboot's
responsibility. Platform specific drivers (like gpio, spi, etc)
are not included.

Only a specific type of SPI flash exists on a board, having board
Kconfig to select the SPI flash seems to make more sense. Other
flash types are not necessary except coreboot, which implies all
available flash drivers there.

Although the two qemu-x86 targets (i440fx and q35) share a lot in
common, they still have something that cannot easily handled in one
single device tree). Split to create two dedicated device tree files
and make the i440fx be the default build target.

QEMU is much easier for us test booting U-Boot as a coreboot payload
than having a real board like chromebook_link.

Currently all x86 boards still use CONFIG_SYS_EXTRA_OPTIONS to define
the text base address. Since it is deprecated, just remove it and use
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE directly.

Change SYS_CONFIG_NAME and DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE to chromebook_link
which is currently the only real board officially supported to run
U-Boot loaded by coreboot.
Note the symbolic link file chromebook_link.dts is deleted and
link.dts is renamed to chromebook_link.dts.
To avoid multiple definition of video_hw_init, the CONFIG_VIDEO_X86
define needs to be moved to arch/x86/cpu/ivybridge/Kconfig.

Move CONFIG_SYS_CAR_ADDR and CONFIG_SYS_CAR_SIZE to Kconfig so that
we don't need them in the board configuration file thus the same
board configuratoin file can be used to build both coreboot version
and bare version.

In theory U-Boot built for coreboot is supposed to run as a payload
to be loaded by coreboot on every board that coreboot supports.
The U-Boot build process uses SYS_CONFIG_NAME and DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE
which are hardcoded in board defconfig and Kconfig files. For better
support of coreboot, we want to make these two options configurable
so that we can easily change them during 'make menuconfig' so that
the generated U-Boot image for coreboot is board configuration aware.

Rename this vendor since it is intended to be used on any platform where
coreboot runs at reset and then loads U-Boot.
So far it is only tested on link. When other boards are supported it is
likely that we will need to move to multiple board names, all under the
'coreboot' vendor. So while it would be possible to remove the vendor for
now, that would be short-sighted.

Now the types of CONFIG_SYS_{ARCH, CPU, SOC, VENDOR, BOARD, CONFIG_NAME}
are specified in arch/Kconfig.
We can delete the ones in arch and board Kconfig files.
This commit can be easily reproduced by the following command:
find . -name Kconfig -a ! -path ./arch/Kconfig | xargs sed -i -e '
/config[[:space:]]SYS_\(ARCH\|CPU\|SOC\|\VENDOR\|BOARD\|CONFIG_NAME\)/ {
N
s/\n[[:space:]]*string//
}

This commit adds:
- arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig
provide a menu to select target boards
- board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig
set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board
- configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig
default setting of each board
(This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script
based on boards.cfg)
In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under
arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory.
It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the
command line for cross compile.
But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line.
Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done.
That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a
single directory ./configs/.
