For Nvidia GPU models of Dell Latitude E6400

Reviewed-on: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/pulls/49

This updates the dell_inspiron_1100.py script from Python 2 to 3 for
better compatibility (some distros have dropped Python 2), and adds
special handling so that it works with the Latitude E6400 BIOS.

These have also been sent upstream, so these patches can be dropped
once they are merged:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/bios_extract/+/74975/
https://review.coreboot.org/c/bios_extract/+/74976/
https://review.coreboot.org/c/bios_extract/+/74977/

nobody will bother to upgrade the flash on those machines

not much point maintaining the 8/16mb versions

might aswell do just the _4mb version

only src should be in git

the return value was never used

the deleted patch (in this commit) was written to fix an
issue theoretically; it hasn't been fully tested, and some
people have reported strange issues since this patch was
merged - there is no proof that this patch causes them, but
removing this patch is the correct thing to do regardless

i downloaded this file from git manually at some point,
when rebasing changes (i think it was the ec ones)

the logic in the file is correct but i forgot to mark

Merge pull request 'Undo GRUB fixes for E6400' (#20) from nic3-14159/lbmk:revert-e6400-grub-fix into master

Reviewed-on: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/pulls/20

This reverts commit fe2b7203.

The GRUB patch to fix the E6400 broke other systems and has been
reverted. As a result, GRUB needs to be disabled again on the E6400
until a better fix has been created.

This reverts commit 1497ae04.

The blanket GRUB patch seems to break PS/2 keyboard handling across
other platforms, so revert it.

Merge pull request 'Fix E6400 keyboard handling in GRUB' (#19) from nic3-14159/lbmk:fix-ps2-grub into master

Reviewed-on: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/pulls/19

This reverts commit 7bc4dc32.

The E6400 keyboard should work in GRUB now so we can reenable it.

This introduces a patch to grub which disables the coreboot
specific handling, allowing PS/2 keyboards to be handled the
same as i386-pc.  However this alone breaks the keyboard in
Linux, requiring coreboot to perform PS/2 initialization.

I think GRUB may be restoring the original configuration of
the PS/2 controller once it exits, and if coreboot doesn't
initialize the controller then it's restored to the default
state which Linux doesn't seem to like. I think the emulated
keyboard interface provided by the EC on the E6400 behaves
in a non-standard way that is incompatible with the old
coreboot specific handling.

Nicholas Chin authored 2 years ago and Leah Rowe committed 2 years ago

when nicholas added this, he removed the README because it's
going on libreboot.org instead. however, i merged a WIP version
of his page for now because i want to get the e6400 going in
libreboot sooner. so, temp-readding this README. will just
link to this on codeberg or something, from the lb docs

NOTE: I didn't write this README, hence author field set
in the commit. Nicholas wrote it, but I (Leah Rowe) am just
adding it. so, git author set to nicholas, not me

Adding it to lbmk for now as it is not yet in coreboot. If it is merged
into coreboot we can just reference the one there. The original README
will be incorporated into a new page on lbwww, so README.md just points
to a placeholder URL that should match the new page.

Tested the 4MiB ROMs but not the 8 or 16 MiB ones. This uses the same
board.cfg as the GM45 ThinkPads with an IFD+GBE from ich9gen.

Known issues:
- The internal keyboard does not work properly in GRUB. It seems like
  the keyboard controller is outputing set 1 (XT) scancodes, but GRUB
  is interpreting them as set 2 (AT) scancodes. This may also have
  something to do with scancode translation. However, the keyboard works
  fine in SeaBIOS and Linux. USB keyboards also work properly.
- The subsystem IDs in the GBE region are hardcoded for a Thinkpad in
  ich9gen, though this doesn't seem to cause issues in Linux. The vendor
  IFD and GBE region do have some differences from the generated
  binaries, though they do not appear to be critical.

libreboot will still include microcode updates
by default, but mitigations against broken speedstep
and reboot (when microcode updates are excluded) were
removed following the merge with osboot

this patch restores those mitigations; the patch
reverts coreboot to older smrr code (which works fine, it
isn't critical to use the new behaviour) and disables peci
(pointless feature)

i'll probably re-tool this later to apply the changes
conditionally to whether ucode is present

this is not a change in policy. policy says:
include cpu microcode updates by default

policy also says:
libreboot must be configurable

microcode removal via cbfstool remove -n, counts as
configuration, and in practise is not possible on
gm45 patches in current libreboot; this patch corrects
that problem, allowing the machines to work somewhat
well (same stability issues as before, like MCE errors
resulting in kernel panic on high CPU/memory usage,
but i digress)

happy... hacking

small nitpick, but i try to use openbsd style
since i like that style. upon further reading
of their style guidelines today, it was revealed
to me that for includes, they:

* sort sys/ includes alphabetically, at the top
* after sys/ includes, have an empty line
* includes for networking-related headers below that
* empty space below networking headers if there
* after that, have the rest of the includes, sorted
  alphabetically

at least, that is my understanding. i have to admit,
it does look cleaner

not really that critical but why not do it?

This is useful for e.g. HP EliteBook 2560p.

In coreboot config, enable e.g. (for lbmk blobutil):

CONFIG_KBC1126_FW1="../../ec/hp2560p/ec.bin.fw1"
CONFIG_KBC1126_FW2="../../ec/hp2560p/ec.bin.fw2"

In resources/blobs/sources you would have these entries:
