With this patch, make tarball and make export still work as expected,
but if you specify RELEASENAME=foo, then the directories and tarballs
are named flashrom-foo instead of flashrom-0.9.0-r703. This makes
release creation a lot easier. As an example, look at creating the 0.9.1
tarball: # make tarball RELEASENAME=0.9.1

If CONFIG_SERPROG is not set, no stubs and no data of serprog will
remain.

Side benefit: This kills a few dozen lines of code.

r678, r679 and r680 made this possible. Once "Only list available
programers in usage()" is committed, even the usage message will be
adjusted automatically.

 - Move board_info_url struct to print.c, doesn't have to be global.

 - Simplify flashrom.c a bit by moving stuff to print.c.
   Eliminate two now-useless mini-functions in print.c.

 - Add a note that the wiki page contents are semi-automatically generated.

 - Mention date of last wiki page update as well as the flashrom revision
   that was used to generate the wiki output.

 - Also generate list of supported laptops in -z output now.

 - Add some more board URLs.

 - Add a boards_notes[] table to allow for arbitrary footnotes/comments for
   each board in the table. All notes will automatically be turned into
   wiki footnotes with correct numbers and will appear at the end of the
   respective table.

The new makefile structure uses indirection (.features->features) to
work around a gmake bug which resulted in immediate premature evaluation

FTDI support is autodetected during compilation.

Paul writes:
There are certainly possible improvements: The code has hard-coded
values for which interface of the ftdi chip to use (interface B was
chosen because libftdi seems to have trouble with A right now), what
clock rate use for the SPI interface (I've been running at 30Mhz, but
the patch sets it to 10Mhz), and possibly others. I think this means
that per-programmer options might be a good idea at some point.

Carl-Daniel writes:
There is one additional FIXME comment in the code, but AFAICS that
problem is not solvable with current libftdi.

In particular, it should no longer be necessary to patch the makefile
for hassle-free compilation.

The targets are:
make export
make tarball
Both preserve svn revisions and the exported tree does not depend on
subversion in any way or shape.

Documentation for this feature has been added to README.

We need this for five reasons:
1. Packagers currently have to patch flashrom source to compile it on
systems without subversion. We should make it easier for them.
2. Snapshot tarballs currently have a .svn 1.5 directory included but
this will cause errors for users with older svn 1.4. Not requiring
subversion for snapshot compilation is best.
3. Since packagers seldom the svn revision in their fixup patches, some
packages out there have incorrect or no revision, only major version
numbers.
4. Releasing a new version of flashrom needs too many changes to the
makefile which have to be reverted instantly after the release. That is
unnecessary churn.
5. Making a release is easy with the change. Update the major version,
then run "make tarball".

 - Document new 'satasii' programmer in -L output and manpage.

 - Drop PCI_IO_BASE_ADDRESS, pci.h has such #defines already.

 - Beautify flashrom output and make it more consistent.
 
 - Same for the 'make' output (reordered some $CC parameters).
   Build-tested on i386, shouldn't break any builds, I think.

 - Some variable renaming and other cosmetic fixes.

Move the reusable PCI specific parts into pcidev.c, they'll be usable
for other NIC code (Realtek, VIA, ...) and also for SATA/IDE controller
cards as external programmers (for every PCI device which can program
EEPROMs basically).

Also add print_supported_pcidevs() to show the supported PCI devices
(currently only NICs, soon more) in the 'flashrom -L' output.

This allows flashrom to identify, read, write, erase and verify flash chips
on (some) 3COM network cards. The patch uses the external programmer
infrastructure, the network card is basically treated as an external
flash programmer.

Usage:

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
No operations were specified.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com -E
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
Erasing flash chip... SUCCESS.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com -wv backup.bin
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Programming page: 1023 at address: 0x0000ffc0
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com -r backup.bin
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
Reading flash... done.

I have tested this on actual hardware (see PCI IDs above) and all
operations worked fine.

Support for other 3COM cards will follow (I added some more which should
be supportable by this code, but they're untested so far), as well as
support for NICs from other vendors.

The patch also adds support for the Atmel AT49BV512 which is soldered
onto the 3COM NIC I used for testing.

- Read/write accesses through function pointers
- Command line parameter for internal/external flasher
- Board and chipset setup moved to internal init function
- Shutdown stuff moved to internal shutdown function

As a side benefit, this will allow us to undo chipset write enable
during shutdown.

Tested by Uwe on real hardware.

The old variant of using &>/dev/null works on bash and zsh, but not on
dash and tcsh. dash and tcsh interpret it as "background command and
truncate /dev/null" which is not what we want. >& works on tcsh and
bash, but it is not POSIX compliant.
Since make uses /bin/sh and /bin/sh has to be POSIX compliant, we can
use the POSIX variant of stderr and stdout redirection.

>/dev/null 2>&1
is POSIX compliant. This is specified in SuSv3, Shell Command Language,
sections 2.7.2 and 2.7.6.
