riku committed a new patch, that fixes build errors
when PICO_DEFAULT_LED_PIN is not defined, on a given
board. in such cases, riku's new patch just disables
handling of the status LED, but LEDs continue to work
on boards where it is defined.

the new revision sets drive level to 12mA instead
of the default 4mA. 16-20mA is the maximum tolerated
level for data lines, on most flash ICs, so 12mA is
relatively safe.
riku did this a while ago, tested on pico pi.

the rom functions print a path to the rom they built,
which is then used, but these are called inside what
are essentially subshells, and we had no error handling

cros roms are always using libgfxinit, with a coreboot
framebuffer, so the "normal" initmode is never used.

the e6400_4mb target has libgfxinit and (if seabios) vgarom
initialisation, but has issues on the nvidia model, even when
using nomodeset. with this target, e6400nvidia_4mb, only
the vgarom initialisation is used, libgfxinit is disabled.
on nvidia models, this one should work a little bit better.
specifically: nouveau crashes on this machine, with libreboot
installed, but you can use nomodeset. however, when libgfxinit
is also enabled, nomodeset no longer works properly.
so this target disables all video initialisation in coreboot.
only seabios will initialise anything video-related, by
executing the vga option rom.

lbmk used to set version/versiondate directly in
err.sh, but now it's handled there by a function,
which is called by the main script.
script/update/release hadn't yet been adapted. the
only change necessary is to call check_project()
script/update/trees also makes use of it
script/build/roms is using "projectname"

when make-all is being executed on a coreboot tree,
the "./vendor download target" command is used, where
target is the tree/board name.
that script then checks whether cbfstool and ifdtool
are built, and if they're not, they then call
./update trees -b coreboot utils bla bla bla
in this scenario, project=coreboot and mode="", meaning
make-all, and the same check that checks whether the
vendor download script should be run, is executed,
which in turn then checks cbutils again
fix the infinite loop by checking whether it was coreboot
utils, as opposed to *firmware*, that is to be built, before
running ./vendor download

at present, lbmk can remove microcode updates on images for
a given target, if the target specifies
microcode_required="n" in target.cfg
lbmk then provides images with microcode, and images without,
in a given release. although the user can also remove them
manually, this just makes it a bit more convenient, for those
users who do wish to run without the updates. this functionality
is provided only on those platforms where no-microcode is tested.
well, this behaviour implements a compromise on libreboot policy,
which is to always include microcode updates by default. see:
Binary Blob Reduction Policy
the *canoeboot* project now exists, developed in parallel with
libreboot, and it ships without microcode updates, on the same
targets where lbmk also handled this.
running without microcode updates is foolish, and should not
be encouraged. clean up lbmk by not providing this kludge.
the libreboot documentation will be updated, telling such users
to try canoeboot instead, or to remove the update from a given
libreboot rom - this is still possible, and mitigations such as
PECI disablement on GM45 are still in place (and will be kept),
so that this continues to work well.

the purpose of script/update/release is not to test the
build system, but to build release archives.
testing of lbmk is done during the course of development.
remove this bloat from the release script. we run the nuke
mode anyway, to scrub blobs from releases, which will more
or less test the logic in that script (the only difference
is that it runs e.g. ifdtool --nuke instead of -i).

why are we distributing gcc at all?
the coreboot build system downloads it at build time,
and the GNU rsync mirrors aren't going anywhere.
simplify script/update/release by not handling gcc.
this means: release archives will no longer contain gcc.

don't handle "romtype" at all, in board target.cfg files
add /dev/null as pike2008 rom on amd boards. this serves
the same purpose, adding them as empty vga roms, to add
an empty rom in cbfs. pike2008 cards cause seabios to hang,
when their oproms are executed, so we insert a fake rom
on i945 thinkpads, use the coreboot config option:
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK
when set, this enables the same bootblock copy, for use
with bucts. these two cases, namely pike2008 roms and
i945 bootblock copies, no longer need to be handled in code

the shellball (for extracting the coreboot rom, to get
at mrc.bin) contains lines that are not posix-friendly.
specifically, the "local" command is used, and this is
not defined for posix sh.
the shellball is essentially just a bunch of shell
functions that compress/decompress the zip file,
containing the firmware update. you can modify the
files and re-run the shellball to recompress, though
lbmk just uses the decompress function.
as pointed out by Nicholas Chin, it is possible to just
run "unzip" directly on the update, to get at bios.bin.
we don't really need all the extra checks performed by
the shellball, so let's just bypass it altogether.

only call crossgcc for coreboot and u-boot, but use
hostcc for everything else. simplify the checking of
which architecture to compile for. "arch" in target.cfg
files has been modified, to allow further simplification.
without this patch, the logic currently only *barely* avoids
using crossgcc on things like utils, and only works in practise
because, in practise, lbmk only works on x86_64 anyway.
the new logic, as per this patch, is simpler and more robust.

The component 1 and 2 densities were still set to 8 MiB and 4 MiB
respectively, which is incorrect for 16 MiB only configurations.
Change the component 1 density to 16 MiB so that the address space
gets properly mapped to SPI 1. In addition, change the number of
components field (byte 0x15) to 0x00 to indicate 1 flash chip.

Inside the BIOS update, there's 68SCE and 68SCF variants.
Based on Qubes HCL and browsing linux-hardware.org, these are
Probook 6360b and Elitebook 8460p respectively.
I checked the KBC1126 EC Firmwares within the update file, both
use the exact same firmware images. Following-up will be a very
similar but untested port for 6360b.

this part of the code *must* return. the for loop
afterwards must not be permitted to execute.
it's unlikely that this would ever occur, unless

isolinux/syslinux/extlinux config files should all work,

the so-called EFI System Partition (ESP) is used
on many UEFI-based setups. some users may be
migrating to libreboot, so let's support it.
on BIOS setups, it would be e.g.
/boot/syslinux/syslinux.conf
on UEFI setups, it would be e.g.
/boot/EFI/syslinux/syslinux.conf
additionally, support scanning for extlinux.conf
