Julius Werner 25084bd040 tegra124: Rewrite SDRAM parameter saving code to be more efficient
This patch overhauls the structure of the code that saves SDRAM
parameters to PMC registers for LP0 support, which had formerly been
very close to the U-Boot implementation. The new code keeps the
"translation table" entries as they are, but redefines the macros to
output hardcoded assignments instead of structure entries that need to
be parsed at runtime. It explicitly allows the compiler to merge and
reorder all accesses (under the assumption that PMC scratch registers
are essentially "like memory", without read or write side effects),
which generates much better and more importantly smaller code.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:25062
TEST=Nyan_big boots (on my Norrin, with the required board_id hacks) and
can suspend/resume fine to LP0. Measured (uncompressed) romstage size
for nyan_big at 25K without LP0 support, 43K with the old U-Boot style
implementation and 32K with this patch. Execution time of the function
drops from 1.2ms to .09ms.

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:
