commit 7b9c64d48f02dfae6a2134bf065b39ab1d3a6efe Author: Martin Roth martinroth@google.com Date: Thu Nov 12 14:02:42 2015 -0700
x86: Add Kconfig to disable early bootblock postcodes
The Intel cave creek chipset needs to have port 80 routing configured before any post codes can be sent to port 80h. Sending post codes out before the routing is done will hang the system.
This patch allows us to disable the first couple of post codes that go out before the routing can be configured.
