Change subject: sb/intel/i82801ix: Select SOUTHBRIDGE_INTEL_COMMON_SPI ......................................................................
Patch Set 1:
Actually with TSC_MONOTONIC_TIMER selected you get:
ICH SPI: Data transaction error SF: Failed to send command 9f: 1 flash size 0x80000 bytes SF: Detected Opaque HW-sequencing with sector size 0x100, total 0x80000 SF size 0x80000 does not correspond to CONFIG_ROM_SIZE 0x200000!!
Maybe a better Kconfig like BOOT_DEVICE_NOT_SPI_FLASH could be used here? I think that also makes sense for some ich7 boards that feature LPC flash.
