Right now, the annotation only differentiates between SPI and non-SPI.
Anyone who knows more about a specific flash chip should feel free to
update it.

The existing flashbus variable was abused to denote the SPI controller
type. Use an aptly named variable for that purpose.

Once this patch is merged, the chipset/programmer init functions can set
supported flash chip types and flashrom can automatically select only
matching probe/read/erase/write functions. A side benefit of that will
be the elimination of the Winbond W29EE011 vs. AMIC A49LF040A conflict.

Some MMIO accesses used volatile, others didn't (and risked
non-execution of side effects) and even with volatile, some accesses
looked dubious.

Since the MMIO accessor functions and the onboard flash accessor
functions are functionally identical (but have different signatures),
make the flash accessors wrappers for the MMIO accessors.

For some of the conversions, I used Coccinelle. Semantic patch follows:

Use chipaddr instead of volatile uint8_t * because when we access chips
in external flashers, they are not accessed via pointers at all.

Benefits: This allows us to differentiate between volatile machine
memory accesses and flash chip accesses. It also enforces usage
of chip_{read,write}[bwl] to access flash chips, so nobody will
unintentionally use pointers to access chips anymore. Some unneeded
casts are removed as well. Grepping for chip operations and machine
memory operations doesn't yield any false positives anymore.

Compile tested on 32 bit and 64 bit Linux.

Among others, I have seen the following problems: - The SPI opcode is
not supported by the controller. ICH-style controllers exhibit this if
SPI config is locked down. - The address in in a prohibited area. This
can happen on ICH for any access (BBAR) and for writes in chipset write
protected areas. - There is no SPI controller.

Introduce separate error codes for unsupported opcode and prohibited
address.

Add the ability to adjust REMS and RES addresses to the minium supported
read address with the help of spi_get_valid_read_addr(). That function
needs to call SPI controller specific functions like reading BBAR on
ICH.

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.

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.

Right now we perform direct pointer manipulation without any abstraction
to read from and write to memory mapped flash chips. That makes it
impossible to drive any flasher which does not mmap the whole chip.

Using helper functions readb() and writeb() allows a driver for external
flash programmers like Paraflasher to replace readb and writeb with
calls to its own chip access routines.

This patch has the additional advantage of removing lots of unnecessary
casts to volatile uint8_t * and now-superfluous parentheses which caused
poor readability.

I used the semantic patcher Coccinelle to create this patch. The
semantic patch follows:
@@
expression a;
typedef uint8_t;
volatile uint8_t *b;
@@
- *(b) = (a);
+ writeb(a, b);
@@
volatile uint8_t *b;
@@
- *(b)
+ readb(b)
@@
type T;
T b;
@@
(
 readb
|
 writeb
)
 (...,
- (T)
- (b)
+ b
 )

In contrast to a sed script, the semantic patch performs type checking
before converting anything.
