In r1577 we removed the discrimination of coreboot IDs and user-specified
mainboards. The problem is that the board enable code required to find
a board enable if either of these model strings were set. Therefore boards
running coreboot that do not need a board enable failed to execute flashrom
since then. This patch fixes this by handling coreboot IDs and user-supplied
IDs differently again.

In dmi_init() we populate static char *dmistrings[] with values that get
later compared in dmi_match(). Those strings are actually strduped in
get_dmi_string() and hence need to be freed later. This patch accomplishes
this by registering another shutdown method. Also, the tangling pointers are
nulled when the memories are freed.

Add return values to sp_synchronize so we can signal a failure to the
only upstream caller (serprog_init), which is prepared to propagate a failure.

sp_sync_read_timeout was harder to fix because it already used a return
value, but we needed to distinguish two different failure modes. This
solution distinguishes them by the sign of the return values, which maintains
readability as much as possible.

Some vendors forget to disable regions properly and set their FRAP bits
and FREG to 0. While not documented publicly this is being ignored by the
chipset(s)[1] and hence flashrom should do so too. Without this patch
flashrom prints a warning and disables writes.
The check for i (region index) excludes the descriptor region which should not
be becessary because specs suggest that the descriptor region should not
be locked, but if vendors would follow the specs this patch would not have
been necessary in the first place.

Besides disabling the SMM protection this also fixes something that bothered
me for a long time: the content of BIOS_CNTL was shown before we try to modify
it. This is usually not what interests us and contradicts other outputs.
With this patch we try to set the write enable and disable the SMM protection
first and show the state of BIOS_CNTL afterwards.

We now return an error only if the write enable is not set (which should be
equivalent to the previous behavior on sane hardware, but it seems to be
'more correct' and makes the code clearer to do this explicitly).

Helge Wagner's patch that added VIA VX900 chipset support made me look
closer at the datasheets which led to some concise documentation about
newer VIA chipsets: http://flashrom.org/VIA



Based on that this patch adds full support for VX800/VX820, VX855/VX875
and VX900, including SPI and LPC. VT8237S was not changed (SPI support
only) because there is no public datasheet and it is not clear how to
distinguish between LPC and SPI strapping and investigations in (NDAed)
documents have not brought up anything conclusively.

enable_flash_vt823x could probably be enhanced too due to various
ignored LPC options of the chipset.

The Bus Pirate firmware (at least v6.1 and earlier) can't handle UART
input buffer overflow in BBIO mode, and sending a sequence of 0x00 too
fast apparently triggers such an UART input buffer overflow. Wait 10 ms
after sending each 0x00 byte during init to give the Bus Pirate enough
time to handle the input. This fixes a Bus Pirate hang if the previous
flashrom run was aborted by the user.

The Bus Pirate firmware v6.1 and earlier use the wrong (too slow) SPI
speed if more than 2 MHz are requested. Automatically downgrade SPI
speed to 2 MHz for affected firmware versions.

Detect Bus Pirate hardware and firmware versions to allow quirk
handling.

The Bus Pirate init sequence has lots of open-coded sequences which wait
for a given string on the serial line. Refactor them into
buspirate_wait_for_string().

GNU make has a very interesting quirk: If you set a variable on the
command line, any changes to that variable in the Makefile are ignored
unless marked with the "override" keyword.

Use CFLAGS only for optimization and warning options, and use CPPFLAGS
for the dependency and other preprocessor related options.
That way packagers can specify their own CFLAGS without breaking the
build.

As a side benefit, the ich_descriptors_tool Makefile now behaves exactly
the same whether called standalone or as part of the main Makefile.
