2020-01-06util/supermicro: Add and use new tool smcbiosinfoPatrick Rudolph
The BMC and tools interacting with it depend on metadata placed inside the ROM in order the flash the BIOS. Add a new tool smcbiosinfo, integrate it into the build system, and generate a 128byte metadata file called smcbiosinfo.bin on build. You need to provide the BoardID for every SMC mainboard through a new Kconfig symbol: SUPERMICRO_BOARDID Some fields are unknown, but it's sufficient to flash it using SMC vendor tools. Tested on Supermicro X11SSH: * Flashing using the WebUI works * Flashing using SMCIPMITool works No further validation is done on the firmware.
