The flashrom manpage currently says "-w, --write: Write file into flash
ROM (default when <file> is specified)". This is no longer true for recent
flashrom versions, which only write if you explicitly use the -w option.

Proof:

$ flashrom coreboot.rom
flashrom v0.9.0-r631
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "Intel ICH7/ICH7R", enabling flash write... OK.
Found board "Kontron 986LCD-M", enabling flash write... OK.
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "PMC Pm49FL004" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.
No operations were specified.

Thus, fix manpage accordingly.

Some SPI opcodes need to be sent in direct succession after each other
without any chip deselect happening in between. A prominent example is
WREN (Write Enable) directly before PP (Page Program). Intel calls the
first opcode in such a row "preopcode".

Right now, we ignore the direct succession requirement completely and it
works pretty well because most onboard SPI masters have a timing or
heuristics which make the problem disappear.
The FT2232 SPI flasher is different. Since it is an external flasher,
timing is very different to what we can expect from onboard flashers and
this leads to failure at slow speeds.

This patch allows any function to submit multiple SPI commands in a
stream to any flasher. Support in the individual flashers isn't
implemented yet, so there is one generic function which passes the each
command in the stream one-by-one to the command functions of the
selected SPI flash driver.

Since block erase functions do not know the block length (it's not
specified in any standard), block erase functions now get an additional
parameter blocklen. This enables flashrom to verify the erase result for
block erase functions at correct boundaries.

FYI, this board can only decode 256 KB chips (not 512 KB ones) unfortunately.
The highest address line (A18) is not connected on this board.

The it8705f_write_enable() is kept generic enough so it can be reused for other
board-enables, possibly in the board_biostar_p4m80_m4() for example, but that
shouldn't be touched for now, unless someone can test the code.
