commit ffc383684079d60e7d20403ef7c3877d580c57b4
Author: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo at no-log.org>

    Add a KEEP_BOOT_COUNT Kconfig option.
    
    The use case of that option is to inform coreboot (trough the nvram) at the
      next boot, that the computer could not fully boot to boot to an usable state.
      In that case, the boot count is incremented by one.
    
    Previously there was no way to tell coreboot that the computer really booted
      successfully, because it was assumed that if set_boot_successful was called
      in ramstage, then the computer would have booted successfully.
    
    However many things can go wrong after that point, for instance the payload
      could fail to boot, or the operating system's kernel could fail to boot too,
      due to the wrong configurations passed to it by coreboot and the payload.
