[PATCH v4 2/2] x86: Update cbmem driver

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Sun Sep 10 21:13:02 CEST 2023


This driver is not actually built since a Kconfig was never created for
it.

Add a Kconfig (which is already implied by COREBOOT) and update the
implementation to avoid using unnecessary memory. Drop the #ifdef at the
top since we can rely on Kconfig to get that right.

To enable it (in addition to serial and video), use:

   setenv stdout serial,vidconsole,cbmem

Changes in v4:
- Add some comments to help understand the overflow mechanism

Changes in v2:
- Update to support the new overflow mechanism
