libflash: Add option to install pflash

Extend the libflash package to also install the pflash utility. This
enables users to query and modify the PNOR safely from the host, as well
as supporting future automation changes.

OpenPOWER Firmware Build Environment

The OpenPOWER firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

Development

Issues, Milestones, pull requests and code hosting is on GitHub: https://github.com/open-power/op-build

Building an image

To build an image for a Palmetto system:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git
cd op-build
. op-build-env
op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build

There are also default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/ such as Habanero and Firestone.

Buildroot/op-build supports both native and cross-compilation - it will automatically download and build an appropriate toolchain as part of the build process, so you don't need to worry about setting up a cross-compiler. Cross-compiling from a x86-64 host is officially supported.
