U-Boot can be configured via environment variables which can be saved to
various storage devices. This usually defaults to MMC or SPI depending
on where it boots from, but assumes the device's layout is controlled by
U-Boot.
We should store the environment in SPI flash, but we also need to
configure coreboot FMAPs to reserve the area U-Boot would use as its
environment storage. For now, disable environment storage by setting
ENV_IS_NOWHERE=y to avoid overwriting random regions of SPI or MMC if
someone tries to save the variables.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2023.01 and rebase patches on top of
that. Upstream kconfig status is a bit unstable, so updating configs
with `make oldconfig` would miss important upstream changes.
For each board, run `make savedefconfig` and `diffconfig -m` at the old
version to get a diff from upstream defconfigs. Fix those affected by
upstream changes, like SYS_TEXT_BASE being renamed to TEXT_BASE. Then
append those to the new version's defconfigs and run `make olddefconfig`
to get updated configs.

the way nvmutil is designed, setWord() is only ever called
under non-error conditions. however, if one part is valid but
the other one isn't, and a command is run that touches both parts,
errno is non-zero write writeGbeFile is called
in situations where one part is valid, but the other isn't, AND the
writes to gbe (in memory) results in a non-change, writeGbeFile is
not called; in this situation, errno is not being reset, despite
non-error condition
this patch fixed the bug, resulting in zero status upon exit under
such conditions
the current code writes part 1 first, and part 0 next,
on the disk, due to the way the swap works.
with this change, swap still swaps the two parts of the file,
on disk, but writes the new file sequentially.
this change might speed up i/o on the file system, on HDDs.
on SSDs, this change likely makes no difference at all.
On many Lenovo GbE regions (in factory firmware), part 0 is
invalid but part 1 is valid.
This change means part 1 is checked first. If part 1 is valid,
part 0 won't be checked at all (due to how most C compilers
optimise).
Most people are just going to extract the factory GbE file,
modify it and re-insert it into the ROM image, so this causes
a nice speedup.
don't constantly open/close the file: /dev/urandom
only read 12 bytes at a time
because of this change, the readFromFile() function now only
handles gbe files
The USB 2.0 ports on Exynos boards need the relevant driver enabled by
USB_EHCI_EXYNOS. This is enabled by default depending on USB_EHCI_HCD.
It's already enabled on snow and spring, but apparently not on peach
boards, as discovered from other people's attempts to enable it [1][2].
Enable it also on the peach_pi and peach_pit.

The display driver on the veyron boards needs reset drivers, more
specifically RESET_ROCKCHIP. This is enabled by default depending on
DM_RESET, which an upstream commit enables for veyron_jerry claiming it
fixes the display [1]. Enable it also in our configs, but for other
veyrons as well.

By making lbmk fully POSIX-compliant, it will be easier to port lbmk to
other systems implementing POSIX such as Alpine Linux and FreeBSD.

don't do xor swap. we know gbe2 is always 4KB higher than
gbe in memory, so we can just set gbe2 to the value of gbe,
and OR the size in bytes of 4KB into gbe2
this is only a marginal speed boost, negligible even, but it's
done for the lulz
similar to the last change by concept. we now write
individual 4KB blocks per part 0 and 1, at the end
of nvmutil, based on pointer values gbe and gbe2
instead of running memcpy, simply overwrite the pointer
this results in less I/O, thus more speed
instead of XOR-swapping every byte, have pointers to the
two parts and *XOR swap the pointers*. at the end of the
program execution, when writing, pwrite the two parts into
the same file
