Pull chrome platform firmware loader updates from Tzung-Bi Shih:
"New:
- Rename drivers/firmware/google/ -> drivers/firmware/coreboot/ and
corresponding Kconfig names
- Separate firmware_attributes_class from drivers/platform/x86/ to
drivers/firmware/ so that it is available for non-x86 platforms
- Add CFR (coreboot form representation) driver to expose the
attributes via sysfs

Improvements:
- Use named initializers for acpi_device_id"

firmware: coreboot: Add CFR firmware attributes driver

coreboot can publish a CFR tree in its coreboot table to describe
firmware setup options. Add a firmware-attributes driver for that table
entry

firmware: coreboot: Add CFR firmware attributes driver

coreboot can publish a CFR tree in its coreboot table to describe
firmware setup options. Add a firmware-attributes driver for that table
entry under the coreboot firmware driver directory.

The driver exposes runtime EFI variable-backed boolean, enum and integer
settings through the firmware-attributes ABI. It only registers settings
with readable runtime EFI variables, skips suppressed, volatile,
dependency-gated and non-runtime options, and keeps read-only or inactive
options read-only in sysfs.

For settings with an APM_CNT runtime-apply record, write the EFI
variable and ask firmware to apply the setting immediately with an I/O
port SMI command. If firmware reports a failure, restore the old EFI
variable value. Settings without a runtime apply hook keep the EFI
variable update and set pending_reboot. Depend on HAS_IOPORT because
APM_CNT uses legacy I/O ports.

Tested on a Star Labs Byte with firmware 26.07: runtime APM_CNT apply
was verified with power_led, and reboot-needed behavior was verified with
debug_level.
