Enric Balletbo i Serra 22c040fa21 platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc: Choose Microchip EC at runtime
On many boards, communication between the kernel and the Embedded
Controller happens over an LPC bus. In these cases, the kernel config
CONFIG_CROS_EC_LPC is enabled. Some of these LPC boards contain a
Microchip Embedded Controller (MEC) that is different from the regular
EC. On these devices, the same LPC bus is used, but the protocol is
a little different. In these cases, the CONFIG_CROS_EC_LPC_MEC kernel
config is enabled. Currently, the kernel decides at compile-time whether
or not to use the MEC variant, and, when that kernel option is selected
it breaks the other boards. We would like a kind of runtime detection to
avoid this.

This patch adds that detection mechanism by probing the protocol at
runtime, first we assume that a MEC variant is connected, and if the
protocol fails it fallbacks to the regular EC. This adds a bit of
overload because we try to read twice on those LPC boards that doesn't
contain a MEC variant, but is a better solution than having to select the
EC variant at compile-time.

While here also fix the alignment in Kconfig file for this config option
replacing the spaces by tabs.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
