- Defined an abstract NVRAM I/O API (bhnd_nvram_io), decoupling NVRAM/SPROM
parsing from the actual underlying NVRAM data provider (e.g. CFE firmware
devices).
- Defined an abstract NVRAM data API (bhnd_nvram_data), decoupling
higher-level NVRAM operations (indexed lookup, data conversion, etc) from
the underlying NVRAM file format parsing/serialization.
- Implemented a new high-level bhnd_nvram_store API, providing indexed
variable lookup, pending write tracking, etc on top of an arbitrary
bhnd_nvram_data instance.
- Migrated all bhnd(4) NVRAM device drivers to the common bhnd_nvram_store
API.
- Implemented a common bhnd_nvram_val API for parsing/encoding NVRAM
variable values, including applying format-specific behavior when
converting to/from the NVRAM string representations.
- Dropped the now unnecessary bhnd_nvram driver, and moved the
broadcom/mips-specific CFE NVRAM driver out into sys/mips/broadcom.
- Implemented a new nvram_map file format:
- Variable definitions are now defined separately from the SPROM
layout. This will also allow us to define CIS tuple NVRAM
mappings referencing the common NVRAM variable definitions.
- Variables can now be defined within arbitrary named groups.
- Textual descriptions and help information can be defined inline
for both variables and variable groups.
- Implemented a new, compact encoding of SPROM image layout
offsets.
- Source-level (but not build system) support for building the NVRAM file
format APIs (bhnd_nvram_io, bhnd_nvram_data, bhnd_nvram_store) as a
userspace library.
The new compact SPROM image layout encoding is loosely modeled on Apple
dyld compressed LINKEDIT symbol binding opcodes; it provides a compact
state-machine encoding of the mapping between NVRAM variables and the SPROM
image offset, mask, and shift instructions necessary to decode or encode
the SPROM variable data.
The compact encoding reduces the size of the generated SPROM layout data
from roughly 60KB to 3KB. The sequential nature SPROM layout opcode tables
also simplify iteration of the SPROM variables, as it's no longer
neccessary to iterate the full NVRAM variable definition table, but
instead simply scan the SPROM revision's layout opcode table.

- Added a generic bhnd_nvram_parser API, with support for the TLV format
used on WGT634U devices, the standard BCM NVRAM format used on most
modern devices, and the "board text file" format used on some hardware
to supply external NVRAM data at runtime (e.g. via an EFI variable).
- Extended the bhnd_bus_if and bhnd_nvram_if interfaces to support both
string-based and primitive data type variable access, required for
common behavior across both SPROM and NVRAM data sources.
- Extended the existing SPROM implementation to support the new
string-based NVRAM APIs.
- Added an abstract bhnd_nvram driver, implementing the bhnd_nvram_if
atop the bhnd_nvram_parser API.
- Added a CFE-based bhnd_nvram driver to provide read-only access to
NVRAM data on MIPS SoCs, pending implementation of a flash-aware
bhnd_nvram driver.

Add support for fetching SPROM data from OTP on chipsets with an
IPX OTP controller (including the BCM43225).
This integrates the NVRAM data source into the chipc_caps capability
structure, and adds a sprom_offset field that can be used with OTP
to locate the SPROM image data (found within the general use
region, H/W subregion).
This also removes one of two duplicate parse error messages reported by
both the bhnd_sprom driver and the underlying SPROM parsing API.

This patchset adds support to bhnd_chipc for sharing SYS_RES_MEMORY
resources with its children, allowing us to hang devices off of
bhnd_chipc that rely on access to a subset of the device register space
that bhnd_chipc itself must also allocate.
We could avoid most of this heavy lifting if RF_SHAREABLE+SYS_RES_MEMORY
wasn't limited to use with allocations at the same size/offset.
As a work-around, I implemented something similar to vga_pci.c, which
implements similar reference counting of of PCI BAR resources for its
children.
With these changes, chipc will use reference counting of SYS_RES_MEMORY
allocation/activation requests, to decide when to allocate/activate/
deactivate/release resources from the parent bhnd(4) bus.
The requesting child device is allocated a new resource from chipc's
rman, pointing to (possibly a subregion of) the refcounted bhnd resources
allocated by chipc.
Other resource types are just passed directly to the parent bhnd bus;
RF_SHAREABLE works just fine with IRQs.
I also lifted the SPROM device code out into a common driver, since this
now allows me to hang simple subclasses off of a common driver off of both
bhndb_pci and bhnd_chipc.
Tested:
* (landonf) Tested against BCM4331 and BCM4312, confirmed that SPROM still
attaches and can be queried.

This adds support for the NVRAM handling and the basic SPROM
hardware used on siba(4) and bcma(4) devices, including:
* SPROM directly attached to the PCI core, accessible via PCI configuration
space.
* SPROM attached to later ChipCommon cores.
* SPROM variables vended from the parent SoC bus (e.g. via a directly-attached
flash device).
Additional improvements to the NVRAM/SPROM interface will
be required, but this changeset stands alone as working
checkpoint.
