mainboard/protectli/vault_ehl: Add initial structure
This patch adds base code for the Protectli VP2420. The GPIO config has been extracted with inteltool from the stock firmware and then parsed with intelp2m. As of now, the platform runs with edk2 with no apparent issues.

+# Protectli Vault VP2420
+
+This page describes how to run coreboot on the [Protectli VP2420].
+
+![](VP2420_back.jpg)
+![](VP2420_front.jpg)
+
+## Required proprietary blobs
+
+To build a minimal working coreboot image some blobs are required (assuming
+only the BIOS region is being modified).
+
+```eval_rst
++-----------------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
+| Binary file | Apply | Required / Optional |
++=================+=================================+=====================+
+| FSP-M, FSP-S | Intel Firmware Support Package | Required |
++-----------------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
+| microcode | CPU microcode | Required |
++-----------------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
+```
+
+FSP-M and FSP-S are obtained after splitting the Elkhart Lake FSP binary (done
+automatically by the coreboot build system and included into the image) from
+the `3rdparty/fsp` submodule.
+
+Microcode updates are automatically included into the coreboot image by build
+system from the `3rdparty/intel-microcode` submodule.
+
+## Flashing coreboot
+
+### Internal programming
+
+The main SPI flash can be accessed using [flashrom]. Firmware can be easily
+flashed with internal programmer (either BIOS region or full image).
+
+### External programming
+
+The system has an internal flash chip which is a 16 MiB soldered SOIC-8 chip.
+This chip is located on the top side of the case (the lid side). One has to
+remove 4 top cover screws and lift up the lid. The flash chip is soldered in
+under RAM, easily accessed after taking out the memory. Specifically, it's a
+KH25L12835F (3.3V) which is a clone of Macronix
+MX25L12835F - [datasheet][MX25L12835F].
