[PATCH v3 0/3] coreboot CFR firmware attributes

[Sean Rhodes]

Hi,

This series adds a coreboot CFR firmware-attributes driver.

v3 addresses Julius's review feedback that this does not belong under
platform/x86.  The driver now lives under drivers/firmware/coreboot/,
next to the existing coreboot table consumers.  To support that, the
firmware-attributes class helper is moved from drivers/platform/x86 to
drivers/firmware.

The series also renames drivers/firmware/google to
drivers/firmware/coreboot, because the drivers in that directory are
coreboot table drivers rather than Google-specific firmware drivers.
The existing CONFIG_GOOGLE_* symbols are intentionally kept to avoid
user configuration churn.

The CFR driver uses the existing firmware-attributes ABI.  It exposes
runtime EFI variable-backed boolean, enum and integer options, skips
suppressed, volatile, dependency-gated and non-runtime options, and keeps
read-only or inactive options read-only in sysfs.

For CFR runtime-apply metadata using APM_CNT, x86 systems can apply a
setting immediately after writing the EFI variable.  Non-x86 builds keep
the EFI write and report pending_reboot.

Changes in v3:
- Move the driver from platform/x86 to drivers/firmware/coreboot.
- Split out the firmware-attributes class helper move.
- Rename drivers/firmware/google to drivers/firmware/coreboot.
- Keep CONFIG_GOOGLE_* symbols unchanged.
- Keep coreboot bus internals private to drivers/firmware/coreboot.
- Keep CFR record definitions private to the CFR driver.
- Avoid rewriting EFI variables when userspace writes the current value.

Testing:
- Tested on a Star Labs Byte with firmware 26.07 and the driver built as a
  module against Linux 6.17.
- Verified runtime APM_CNT apply with power_led.
- Verified reboot-needed behavior with debug_level.
- Built x86 objects with W=1 for the CFR/coreboot/helper path and touched
  platform-x86 firmware-attributes users.
- Built ARM64 objects with clang for the CFR/coreboot/helper path.
- Passed git diff --check and scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict.
