2017-06-04console/flashsconsole: Add spi flash console for debuggingYouness Alaoui
If CONSOLE_SPI_FLASH config is enabled, we write the cbmem messages to the 'CONSOLE' area in FMAP which allows us to grab the log when we read the flash. This is useful when you don't have usb debugging, and UART lines are hard to find. Since a failure to boot would require a hardware flasher anyways, we can get the log at the same time. This feature should only be used when no alternative is found and only when we can't boot the system, because excessive writes to the flash is not recommended. This has been tested on purism/librem13 v2 and librem 15 v3 which run Intel Skylake hardware. It has not been tested on other archs or with a driver other than the fast_spi.
