Gabe Black f6be8b0e60 nyan: Initialize the PMIC.
Add code which initializes the AS3722 PMIC based on the initialization
sequence U-Boot uses. I wasn't able to find documentation which said what each
register in the PMIC does, so the next best solution was to imitate another
implementation which presumably sets things up correctly.

The code is set up significantly differently than the U-Boot code, first
because it uses the i2c driver through it's external interface instead of
poking values into the controller's registers directly. The driver uses the
packet mode of the controller while the U-Boot code does not. Second, it uses
an array of register indices and values, a pattern established with Exynos,
instead of having a sequence of calls to the i2c_write function.

This change is also a practical test of the i2c driver's write capability.

BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted into the bootblock on nyan. Used a multimeter to measure
the voltage on capacitors connected to the CPU's power rail. When booting
U-Boot, the voltage across the capacitors is 1V. When booting coreboot before
this change, that rail stayed off and the rail stayed at 0V. After this change
it went to 1V.
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:
