the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 2a58ecde78350902ac47145a3f2dba063bce3375 Author: Marc Jones marc.jones@se-eng.com Date: Tue Oct 29 17:32:00 2013 -0600
Add new finalize functions for devices and chips
Many chipset devices require additional configuration after device init. It is not uncommmon for a device early in the devicetree list to need to change a setting after a device later in the tree does PCI init. A final function call has been added to device ops to handle this case. It is called prior to coreboot table setup.
Another problem that is often seen is that the chipset or mainboard need to do some final cleanup just before loading the OS. The chip finalize has been added for this case. It is call after all coreboot tables are setup and the payload is ready to be called.
Similar functionality could be implemented with the hardwaremain states, but those don't fit well in the device tree function pointer structure and should be used sparingly.
