Gabe Black 164f7010a4 tegra124: A couple clock fixes.
This fixes two problems with the clock configuration on tegra124. First, the
macro which set up the i2c clocks tried to account for the fact that the i2c
divisor's lsb represents 1.0 where it normally represents 0.5 by multiplying
the target frequency by 2. That doesn't work, unfortunately, because the
divisor is actually n + 1, and what n + 1 means depends on where the one's
place is in the divisor.

Also, when calculating the divisor, the standard C division operator uses
truncation to deal any remainder which tends to make the divisor smaller. That
has the effect of making the output frequency higher than what was requested.
Since it's usually safer to undershoot a frequency than overshoot it, this
change makes those divisions round up instead.

Finally, the hand tuned temporary UART clock configuration was adjusted so
that it still ends up with the same divisor. Without that, very early output
from the bootblock is garbled, specifically the coreboot welcome banner,
build timestamp, etc.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:27220
TEST=Built and booted on nyan. Used a logic analyzer to verify that the TPM
i2c bus ran at 400KHz instead of 660KHz, and that the divisor was the expected
value. Measured boot time with and without EFS and verified that there was no
change. Spot checked the output for errors and verified that none of the
bootblock output was garbled.
BRANCH=None

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
