2023-10-09util/e6400-flash-unlock: Update to upstream versionNicholas Chin
This updates lbmk's copy of e6400-flash-unlock to commit c5567fece479 (README.md: Update with info about broader device support) in my upstream repo. Changes: - Theoretical support for any Dell system that implements that flash descriptor override command. This is done by reading base address registers at runtime instead of hard coding them for specific devices. Tested on the Latitude E6400 and Latitude E6430. - Support for OpenBSD. It compiles, runs, and behaves as expected, though I have not actually tested internally flashing with flashrom yet. It should work though, as the program checks if the descriptor override is set and the BIOS Write Enable is able to be set to 1, which is all that is needed to internal flash. - Integrated changes made in the lbmk copy - Moved operating system accessor implementations to their own file It should be fully functional, though minor formatting and cleanup changes are still planned.

2023-04-19util/e6400-flash-unlock: restore READMENicholas Chin
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
2023-04-19Add E6400 flash unlock utilityNicholas Chin
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.
