[U-Boot] [PATCH] VGA text console support

Most coreboot users use just VGA text console, not graphics. Support it. Remaining problem is that software and hardware cursor blinking superimpose. I disabled software blinking locally but it's not part of this patch since it's not done properly. diff --git a/drivers/video/cfb_console.c b/driver

[U-Boot] Improper assumption of serial port

[U-Boot] [PATCH] Fix wrong >4G filtering

[U-Boot] U-Boot under coreboot

Hello, I've tried u-boot on top of coreboot on Lenovo Thinkpad X201 laptop and it failed lamentably. I send now series of patches to fix few problems but it still isn't completely functional. I can now get it to go to the console most times (sometimes it crashes before), it often crashes if I attem
