2020-10-22drivers/smmstore: Implement SMMSTORE version 2Patrick Rudolph
SMMSTORE version 2 is a complete redesign of the current driver. It is not backwards-compatible with version 1, and only one version can be used at a time. Key features: * Uses a fixed communication buffer instead of writing to arbitrary memory addresses provided by untrusted ring0 code. * Gives the caller full control over the used data format. * Splits the store into smaller chunks to allow fault tolerant updates. * Doesn't provide feedback about the actual read/written bytes, just returns error or success in registers. * Returns an error if the requested operation would overflow the communication buffer. Separate the SMMSTORE into 64 KiB blocks that can individually be read/written/erased. To be used by payloads that implement a FaultTolerant Variable store like TianoCore. The implementation has been tested against EDK2 master. An example EDK2 implementation can be found here: https://github.com/9elements/edk2-1/commit/eb1127744a3a5d5c8ac4e8eb76f07e79c736dbe2 Change-Id: I25e49d184135710f3e6dd1ad3bed95de950fe057 Signed-off-by: Patrick Rudolph <patrick.rudolph@9elements.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Walter <christian.walter@9elements.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/40520 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Michał Żygowski <michal.zygowski@3mdeb.com> Reviewed-by: Matt DeVillier <matt.devillier@gmail.com>
2020-10-19drivers/intel/usb4: Add driver for USB4 retimer deviceDuncan Laurie
The USB4 retimer device needs to declare a _DSM with specific functions that allow for GPIO control to turn off the power when an external device is not connected. This driver allows the mainboard to provide the GPIO that is connected to the power control.
