Subject: [PATCH 0/1] platform/x86: Add Slim Bootloader firmware update support

Slim Bootloader(SBL) [1] is a small open-source boot firmware,
designed for running on certain Intel platforms. SBL can be
thought-of as fulfilling the role of a minimal BIOS
implementation, i.e initializing the hardware and booting
Operating System.

This driver creates sysfs interfaces which allows user space entities
to trigger update of SBL firmware.

Acknowledgment: Initial draft of the driver code was authored by
Maurice Ma <maurice.ma@...el.com>
