x86: Support Intel Cherry Hill board
This adds support to Intel Cherry Hill board, a board based on Intel Braswell SoC. The following devices are validated: - serial port as the serial console - on-board Realtek 8169 ethernet controller - SATA AHCI controller - EMMC/SDHC controller - USB 3.0 xHCI controller - PCIe x1 slot with a graphics card - ICH SPI controller with an 8MB Macronix SPI flash - Integrated graphics device as the video console Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

+Intel Cherry Hill specific instructions for bare mode:
+
+This uses Intel FSP for Braswell platform. Download it from Intel FSP website,
+put the .fd file to the board directory and rename it to fsp.bin.
+
+Extract descriptor.bin and me.bin from the original BIOS on the board using
+ifdtool and put them to the board directory as well.
+
+Note the FSP package for Braswell does not ship a traditional legacy VGA BIOS
+image for the integrated graphics device. Instead a new binary called Video
+BIOS Table (VBT) is shipped. Put it to the board directory and rename it to
+vbt.bin if you want graphics support in U-Boot.
+
+Now you can build U-Boot and obtain u-boot.rom
+
+$ make cherryhill_defconfig
+$ make all
+
+An important note for programming u-boot.rom to the on-board SPI flash is that
+you need make sure the SPI flash's 'quad enable' bit in its status register
+matches the settings in the descriptor.bin, otherwise the board won't boot.
+
+For the on-board SPI flash MX25U6435F, this can be done by writing 0x40 to the
+status register by DediProg in: Config > Modify Status Register > Write Status
+Register(s) > Register1 Value(Hex). This is is a one-time change. Once set, it
+persists in SPI flash part regardless of the u-boot.rom image burned.
