Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] firmware: google: Expose coreboot tables and CBMEM

From: Patrick Rudolph <patrick.rudolph@...ements.com>

As user land tools currently use /dev/mem to access coreboot tables and
CBMEM, provide a better way by using read-only sysfs attributes.

Unconditionally expose all tables and buffers making future changes in
coreboot possible without modifying a kernel driver.

Changes in v2:
 - Add ABI documentation
 - Add 0x prefix on hex values
 - Remove wrong ioremap hint as found by CI

Changes in v3:
 - Use BIN_ATTR_RO

Changes in v4:
 - Use temporary memremap instead of persistent ioremap
 - Constify a struct
 - Get rid of unused headers
 - Use dev_{get|set}_drvdata
 - Use dev_groups to automatically handle attributes
 - Updated file description
 - Updated ABI documentation
