Improve error handling and make RCONF_DEFAULT_MSR address be a constant.
Also, move a big code comment to the top of enable_flash_cs5536(). Signed-off-by: Mart Raudsepp <mart.raudsepp@artecdesign.ee> Acked-by: Uwe Hermann <uwe@hermann-uwe.de> git-svn-id: svn://svn.coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk@3098 2b7e53f0-3cfb-0310-b3e9-8179ed1497e1

+ *
+ * This hard-coded location could have potential problems on SMP machines
+ * since it assumes cpu0, but it is safe on the Geode which is not SMP.
+ *
+ * Geode systems also write protect the NOR flash chip itself via MSR_NORF_CTL.
+ * To enable write to NOR Boot flash for the benefit of systems that have such
+ * a setup, raise MSR 0x51400018 WE_CS3 (write enable Boot Flash Chip Select).
+ *
+ * This is probably not portable beyond Linux.
