This little series adds a few checks into the code to allow better
operation when booting a build from a previous-state loader such as
coreboot.
At present we have a 'coreboot' target but this runs very different code
from the bare-metal targets, such as coral. There is very little in common
between them.
It is useful to be able to boot the same U-Boot on a device, with or
without a first-stage bootloader. For example, with chromebook_coral, it
is helpful for testing to be able to boot the same U-Boot (complete with
FSP) on bare metal and from coreboot. It allows checking of things like
CPU speed, comparing registers, ACPI tables and the like.
This series allows U-Boot to detect that it ran from coreboot and
automatically do the right thing.
This series makes the most important changes to allow the same u-boot.bin
for coral to boot after coreboot (by itself) or bare metal (via TPL->SPL).
Changes in v3:
- Add a new patch with a gd flag for chain loading
- Add new patch to detect running from coreboot
Changes in v2:
- Drop the other check in interrupt_init() which is not needed now
- Drop patch 'dm: Avoid initing built-in devices when chain loading'
