util/superiotool: Add extra selectors support
Some chips (fintek [1,2]) have registers with specific selector-fields that can affect the address space of the device (for example, switch the register bank). At the same time, these registers contain fields that should not change after they are configured in BIOS (for example, set the port to 2E/2F or 4E/4F). In this case, the selector should take into account the mask of the register fields and there is no convenient and easy way to add this in the code in the utility. The selector-fields should be set manually before the dump and this action is done several times. This patch adds an extra-selector mechanism that allows superiotool to make a correct dump in automatic mode. Just add a structure with an index, mask, and value for the selector inside the superio_registers chip for the corresponding LDN to switch the register bank: {FINTEK_F81966_DID, "F81962/F81964/F81966/F81967", { * * * {NOLDN, "Global", {0x28,0x2a,0x2b,0x2c,EOT}, {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,EOT}, {.idx = 0x27, .mask = 0xd, .val = 0x1} /* update extra selector */ }, {0x03, "LPT", {0x30,0x60,0x61,0x70,0x74,0xf0,EOT}, {NANA,0x03,0x78,0x07,0x03,0xc2,EOT} /* without extra selector */ }, * * * Tested with Fintek F81966 on Asrock IMB-1222: - run superiotool on Ubuntu and dump the registers for the board with the vendor's firmware; - add the superio chip initialization code to the board configuration in coreboot and build the project; - boot Ubuntu on the board with coreboot and re-dump the registers; - the register values from the board configuration code are the same in both dumps. Found Fintek F81962/F81964/F81966/F81967 (vid=0x3419, id=0x0215) at 0x2e (Global) -- ESEL[27h] 0x00 (Port Select Register) -- idx 02 07 20 21 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d val 00 0b 15 02 19 34 5a 23 80 a0 f0 45 02 e3 2e def NA 00 15 02 19 34 00 23 02 a0 00 00 02 0c 28 * * * The changes do not affect the configuration of existing chips, which was tested on the Asrock H110-STX motherboard with Nuvoton NCT5539D (the dump before and after the changes are the same).
