It is ignored by almost every chip and does not work for external
flashers. Plus, it gives the user a false sense of security in some
corner cases.

Add a --list-supported-wiki / -z option which outputs the currently
supported flash chips (and their status, size, and type), chipsets (plus
status), mainboards (plus status), and external PCI devices usable as
programmer to stdout.

This allows for very easy pasting into the http://coreboot.org/flashrom


page, so we can keep that page up-to-date without much hassle.

The list of boards is mostly new (known good ones which don't need
write-enable code, and known-bad ones) and also lists URLs to the
vendor's mainboard pages.

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.

Not only does this violate the principle of least surprise, it also
caused one bug where -Ewv was specified and the flash ended up being
empty.

Support only one operation at a time. As a side benefit, this allows us
to clean up main() quite a bit.

 - Update manpage, we now report supported boards via -L.
 
 - Add some missing escaping for '-' characters in the manpage.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r543.

 - Shorten some of the really long device names, so that -L output looks
   nicer.
   
 - Display a "table header" for all entries/columns in -L output.
 
 - Make -L output tabular for all lists for better readability.
 
 - Do not print "unknown XXXX SPI chip" entries in -L output.
 
 - And random other cosmetics...

 - 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.

If we find multiple ones, abort with a message to the user, suggesting
to use the

  flashrom -p nic3com=bb:dd.f

syntax. If exactly one supported NIC is found, use it. If none is found,
abort with an error.

Print the bb:dd.f numbers for all supported NICs we find, so the user
doesn't have to poke around in lspci output to find the desired bb:dd.f.

Also, drop one pci_read_long() in favor of using the already existing
base_addr[0] struct field.

Drop the BAR in user messages, it's not really useful for us. Instead,
explain the BDF syntax a bit more verbosely.

While I'm at it, update the manpage some more to mention and fully
document the external programmer support we have (or will have soon).

The patch is tested on hardware:

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.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
