PS2, Line 15: Now, in this scenario, the SPI
: flash linear address range is not registered as a resource (since the
: common SPI driver in src/soc/intel/common/block/spi is shared across
: multiple SPI controllers and therefore cannot distinguish where the
: flash is actually located at)
Actually, I'm not sure what would happen on systems without SPI flash. […]
Having boot firmware on eMMC wouldn't be such an issue even in uncached case I guess since eMMC provides a way more faster interface.
The case I was facing hurts so bad because I can only offer a 20 MHz single SPI channel.
Maybe the LPC/eSPI driver could be a good place for this resource. There is a common LPC driver for it and there is usually just one eSPI controller around. Nevertheless it is not 100% accurate because the flash is physically attached to the fast-SPI controller. Maybe we really should add jet another common driver just for the fast-SPI controller.
