This commit adds a new coreboot table, CB_TAG_BOOT_MODE, to pass
platform boot mode information to the payload.
The new table defines flags for low-battery mode and off-mode charging,
which are essential for a payload to properly initialize the charger
driver.
The cb_parse_boot_mode function is added to read this information, and
the sysinfo_t structure is updated to store the parsed boot mode data.
This ensures that the payload can accurately determine the system's
power state at boot and payload operations are also in sync with the
boot firmware.
The following scenarios were tested and verified:
Scenario 1: Low-battery, no charger
- coreboot detects the low-battery state and performs an immediate
shutdown after displaying the low-battery splash screen.
Scenario 2: Low-battery, charger attached
- coreboot detects the low-battery state but continues booting because
a charger is present. The payload receives the low-battery
information (using the same source as coreboot) and correctly
initiates the charging process.
Scenario 3: Off-mode charging
- The system boots directly from an S5 state due to a charger being
plugged in. coreboot detects the off-mode state, skips the firmware
splash screen, and hands off control to the payload, which then
starts charging.
Scenario 4: Normal boot
- The system boots without any low-battery or off-mode conditions.
coreboot and the payload both detect a normal boot (using the same
information), bypass charging initialization, and proceed to boot the
operating system.
TEST=Able to build and boot on google/quenbi device and verify the boot
mode flag is correctly passed.
