At present SPL is used on 64-bit platforms, to allow SPL to be built as
a 32-bit program and U-Boot proper to be built as 64-bit.
However it is useful to be able to use SPL on any x86 platform, where
U-Boot needs to be updated in the field. Then SPL can select which U-Boot
to run (A or B) and most of the code can be updated. Similarly, using TPL
allows both SPL and U-Boot to be updated. This is the best approach, since
it means that all of U-Boot proper as well as SPL (in particular SDRAM
init) can be updated in the field. This provides for the smallest possible
amount of read-only (non-updateable) code: just the TPL code.
This series contains a number of changes to allow x86 boards to use TPL,
SPL and U-Boot proper. As a test, it is enabled for samus with a new
chromebook_samus_tpl board.
Changes in v4:
- Update commit message to not mention the sysreset driver.
- Drop change to SPI flash memory-map property
Changes in v3:
- Remove unneeded pch-reset node
Changes in v2:
- Sort defconfig and adjust it to build after rebase on maste
