mb/kontron: Add Kontron mAL10 COMe module support
This patch adds support for the Kontron mAL10 COMe module with the Apollo Lake SoC together with Kontron T10-TNI carrierboard. Working: - UART console and I2C on Kontron kempld; - USB2/3 - Ethernet controller - eMMC - SATA - PCIe ports - IGD/DP - SMBus - HWM Not tested: - IGD/LVDS - SDIO TODO: - HDA (codec IDT 92HD73C1X5, currently disabled) Tested payloads: - SeaBIOS - Tianocore, UEFIPayload - without video, EFI-shell in console only Tested on COMe module with Intel Atom x5-E3940 processor (4 Core, 1.6/1.8GHz, 9.5W TDP). Xubuntu 18.04.2 was used as a bootable OS (5.0.0-32-generic linux kernel) Change-Id: Ib8432e10396f77eb05a71af1ccaaa4437a2e43ea Signed-off-by: Maxim Polyakov <max.senia.poliak@gmail.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/39133 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Angel Pons <th3fanbus@gmail.com>

+# Kontron mAL10 Computer-on-Modules platform
+
+The Kontron [mAL10] COMe is a credit card sized Computer-on-Modules
+platform based on the Intel Atom E3900 Series, Pentium and Celeron
+processors.
+
+## Technology
+
+```eval_rst
++------------------+----------------------------------+
+| COMe Type | mini pin-out type 10 |
++------------------+----------------------------------+
+| SoC | Intel Atom x5-E3940 (4 core) |
++------------------+----------------------------------+
+| GPU | Intel HD Graphics 500 |
++------------------+----------------------------------+
+| Coprocessor | Intel TXE 3.0 |
++------------------+----------------------------------+
+| RAM | 8GB DDR3L |

+
+## Building coreboot
+
+The following commands will build a working image:
+
+```bash
+make distclean
+make defconfig KBUILD_DEFCONFIG=configs/config.kontron_mal10
+make
+```
+## Payloads
+- SeaBIOS
+- Tianocore
+- Linux as payload
+
+## Flashing coreboot
+
+The SPI flash can be accessed internally using [flashrom].
+The following command is used to flash BIOS region.
+
+```bash
+$ flashrom -p internal --ifd -i bios -w coreboot.rom --noverify-all
+```
+
+## Hardware Monitor
+
+The Nuvoton [NCT7802Y] is a hardware monitoring IC, capable of monitor critical
+system parameters including power supply voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures.
+The remote inputs can be connected to CPU/GPU thermal diode or any thermal diode
+sensors and thermistor.
+
+- 6 temperature sensors;
+- 5 voltage sensors;
+- 3 fan speed sensors;
+- 4 sets of temperature setting points.
+
+PECI is not supported by Apollo Lake Pentium/Celeron/Atom processors and the CPU
+temperature value is taken from a thermal resistor (NTC) that is placed very
+close to the CPU.
+
+## Known issues
+
+- Works only with Tianocore "UEFIPayload" payload edk2-stable201903-1569-g3e63a91
+ Booting with the "CorebootPayload" [crashes].
+- Tianocore outputs video through an external GPU only.
+
+## Untested
+
+- IGD/LVDS
+- SDIO
+
+## Tested and working
+
+- Kontron CPLD/EC (Serial ports, I2C port)
+- NCT7802 [HWM](#Hardware Monitor)
+- USB2/3
+- Gigabit Ethernet ports
+- eMMC
+- SATA
+- PCIe ports
+- IGD/DP
+
+## TODO
+- Onboard audio (codec IDT 92HD73C1X5, currently disabled)
+- S3 suspend/resume
