Since coreboot itself cannot boot a +device-tree-based kernel (yet), this node needs to be inserted by a +second-stage bootloader (a coreboot "payload"). + +Required properties: + - compatible: Should be "coreboot" + - reg: Address and length of the following two memory regions, in order: + 1.) The coreboot table. This is a list of variable-sized descriptors + that contain various compile- and run-time generated firmware + parameters. It is identified by the magic string "LBIO" in its first + four bytes. + See coreboot's src/commonlib/include/commonlib/coreboot_tables.h for + details. + 2.) The CBMEM area. This is a downward-growing memory region used by + coreboot to dynamically allocate data structures that remain resident. + It may or may not include the coreboot table as one of its members.
