SPI Interface Controller
A four-pin interface provides read and write access to an external SPI flash or SPI ROM device.
Vendor specific information stored in the external device is read by the controller during the chip power-up.
PCI BootROMs of PCIe function 0 can also be stored in the external SPI device and read through the Expansion ROM BAR and the SPI interface controller.
