From eb6c71b56282d3054dbffb83793e7d2c6745578e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 16:40:37 -0600 Subject: expo: cedit: Support writing settings to CMOS RAM Add a command to write cedit settings to CMOS RAM so that it can be preserved across a reboot. This uses a simple bit-encoding, where each field has a 'bit position' and a 'bit length' in the schema.
