[coreboot] Dump GPIO I/O Registers

[ron minnich]

I think you guys are going in circles :-)

Here is my chance to help :-)

For the last gazillion years the IO ports on the intel parts have been
about the same. You could probably even reference an old PIIX document
to see how they are programmed. (you'd be surprised how much all the
new stuff looks like a PIIX ...)

You could also take the basic code from superio probe and modify it to
work on southbridge parts -- I looked at this, it looked doable, I ran
out of time and need for it.

And, yes, who knows why, but on all of the ICH parts (you pronounce
this "ICK!") I know of the GPIO IOBASE is not a config space register.
BLEAH!

So you do something like this:
1. id the vendor/dev id (use libpci -- see flashrom for example)
2. From that, call a chip-specific function that returns the GPIO
IOBASE set. Plan to make it an arbitrary sized array or a struct that
has the info (use the code from flashrom)
3. With that data from (2), write chip-specific functions that display:
- enable info
- direction info
- value of the gpio port info
(Some of the code from the superio tool might be very useful here
--it's all inx/outx bit mask/extract bits at this point, nothing
special)

Anyway, this is a bit more work, but ... if you do it, we'll have a
tool we can extend the same way as the superiotool, and your
grandchildren will thank you.

btw, this type of tool is incredibly useful, as you doubtless know. We
found the FLASH write enable on the K8N in about 10 minutes with
superiotool, and it only took 10 mins as we had to write a little
support code for the superio ... would have taken 30 seconds
otherwise. I feel so safe now that I know how well the write line on
FLASH is protected :-)
