For Ward Vandewege.
IT87* SPI unallocated port recovery. Some coreboot versions forget to set the correct SPI flash port. This in turn causes the port range to stay unallocated and thus not passed through to the device. Since the serial port at 0x3f8 is always enabled, disable the serial port, set its address to zero, then allow the user to set the SPI flash port to 0x3f8.
Not intended for merging yet, we need a proper user interface for this
How to use this: Boot a kernel with modular serial port, load the serial module and test it with minicom/whatever, run # lspci -nnvvvxxxx >lspci_loaded.txt # superiotool -d >superiotool_loaded.txt Unload the serial module, then run # lspci -nnvvvxxxx >lspci_unloaded.txt # superiotool -d >superiotool_unloaded.txt # flashrom -p it87spi=port=0x3f8 # lspci -nnvvvxxxx >lspci_modified.txt # superiotool -d >superiotool_modified.txt
The above sequence needs to happen right after a cold boot and after testing the serial port. The flashrom step will alter some registers until the next cold boot, so running it twice will not yield useful results.
