2017-01-03vboot: Clear battery cutoff flags when vbnv_cmos loads backup VBNV.Hung-Te Lin
When CONFIG_VBOOT_VBNV_CMOS_BACKUP_TO_FLASH is set, vbnv_cmos will try to load VBNV from flash if the VBNV in CMOS is invalid. This is usually correct, except the case of battery cut-off. CMOS will always be invalid after battery cut-off if there is no RTC battery (or if that is dead). However, in current implementation the backup in flash is only updated in coreboot, while the real battery cutoff (and the clearing of cutoff flags in VBNV) is done in payload (Depthcharge) stage. This will create an endless reboot loop that: 1. crossystem sets battery cutoff flag in VBNV_CMOS then reboot. 2. coreboot backs-up VBNV_CMOS to VBNV_flash. 3. Depthcharge sees cutoff flag in VBNV_CMOS. 4. Depthcharge clears cutoff flag in VBNV_CMOS. 5. Depthcharge performs battery cutoff (CMOS data is lost). 6. (Plug AC adapter) Reboot. 7. Coreboot sees invalid VBNV_CMOS, load backup from VBNV_flash. 8. Jump to 3. As a result, we should always clear battery cutoff flags when loading backups from VBNV_flash.

VBOOT_VERIFY_FIRMWARE should be independent of CHROMEOS. This allows use of verified boot library without having to stick to CHROMEOS.
