Leah Rowe 614c5efa65 update coreboot/dell to same rev as default
re-use the same patches, and drop the same patches.

this tree uses hell's special ddr2 fix, which we apply
for the dell latitude e6400.

Leah Rowe eff9130b7a update/trees: further simplify crossgcc handling
arch no longer needs to be set, on multi-tree projects,
and it has been renamed to xarch

the new behaviour is: if xarch is set, treat it as a
list of crossgcc targets and go through the list. set
the first one as the target, for what lbmk builds, but
build all of the defined crossgccc targets

crossgcc_ada is now xlang, and defines which languages
to build, rather than whether to build gcc-gnat

Leah Rowe f44b99c808 don't delete microcode updates in rom images
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.

Leah Rowe 92986f0c42 build/roms: remove modify_coreboot_rom()
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

Leah Rowe 90ac30b163 update/trees: simplified crossgcc handling
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.

Leah Rowe 742c00331e coreboot/dell: move e6400 to new tree, dell
the ddr2 fix broke *ddr3* on gm45 thinkpads in
testing, depending on memory modules. this was
established by removing patches, re-doing
configs etc, on a user's X200 (testing gentoo
and freebsd). the X200 kept randomly rebooting
or having random glitches.

the configs themselves (gm45 thinkpads) will
also be re-done, because i found minor issues
unrelated, but this patch moves dell e6400 to
its own tree. the ddr2 fix is no longer present
in coreboot/default, only coreboot/dell.

i noticed minor differences in gm45 thinkpad
configs, when re-doing the configs, versus
what are currently in lbmk master; for instance,
vbt was not enabled anymore, on thinkpad x200.
modifications to these will be done separately.

Leah Rowe 82bd87fa16 build/roms: re-add SeaGRUB build support
it didn't work in the past, but it does work nowadays;
specifically, it only worked with libgfxinit in the past,
but not on VGA ROMs.

now it does work on VGA ROMs, tested on e6400 and t1650 so
it was enabled there.

in this setup, a special image is provided where SeaBIOS is
the main payload, but it only loads GRUB; nothing else, every.

this is called SeaGRUB. this setup is useful in cases where
the user only has a GPU that lacks libgfxinit support.

Leah Rowe 29e9c32e32 coreboot/default: use alternative heap size fix
My previous fix to revert didn't fix S3 on GM45, one
of the platforms reported fixed by 78263; I'm merging
that instead, at patch set 10.

It is referenced by 78815/1 which was split from it,
so merge that too (restores overrides of higher values,
on certain platforms that we don't use yet).

https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78623/10
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78815/1

Accordingly, update configs to match the new default.

Leah Rowe 9606c68c5b fix grub keyboard init on dell e6400 and e6430
also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst;
right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on
grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from
seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.

e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.

e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1

grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up

fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before

courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on
non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK.

The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no
different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same.

Leah Rowe 93458de74a revert coreboot heap size patch
the patch:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78270

this has been reverted, because it caused s3 resume
issues on most intel laptops in libreboot.

i was going to merge this instead:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78623

however, it's under review, and this doesn't change
to the old behaviour; it keeps the new universal
config, but changes the default

we know the old logic works, so keep that for now.
in fact, the offending patch was only merged to
main in coreboot, one day before i recently
updated coreboot revs in coreboot/default - i used
a 12 october revision, the patch above is 11 october

i then ran "./update trees -u coreboot" which updated
the heap sizes back to the old defaults. this should
fix s3 suspend/resume where it was broken, in the
libreboot 20231021 release - a point release with this
and a few other fixes is planned soon.

Riku's mSATA patch for HP8300USDT was merged upstream, so the
patch has been dropped from lbmk because it is contained within
