Don't run any Option ROMs stored outside of the system flash
Right now coreboot only executes VGA Option ROMs. However, this is not good enough. For security reasons we want to execute only Option ROMs stored in our r/o CBFS. This patch adds a new option to disable execution of arbitrary Option ROMs. Also fix the capitalization of Option ROM in src/devices/Kconfig Change-Id: I485291c06ec5cd1f875357401831fe32ccfc5f2f Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer@google.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/730 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) Reviewed-by: Ronald G.
