The user may know better which CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS are appropriate.
Use flashrom_CFLAGS for flags which flashrom definitely needs to build.

Thanks to Stefan Tauner for pointing out the flaw in r1574.

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.

This patch adds an external utility that shares most of the existing descriptor
decoding source code. Additionally to what is available via FDOC/FDOD this
allows to access:
 - the softstraps which are used to configure the chipset by flash content
   without the need for BIOS routines. on ICH8 it is possible to read those
   with FDOC/FDOC too, but this was removed in later chipsets.
 - the ME VSCC (Vendor Specific Component Capabilities) table. simply put,
   this is an SPI chip database used to figure out the flash's capabilities.
 - the MAC address stored in the GbE image.

Intel thinks this information should be confidential for ICH9 and up, but
references some tidbits in their public documentation.
This patch includes the human-readable information for ICH8, Ibex Peak
(5 series) and Cougar Point (6 series); the latter two were obtained from
leaked "SPI Flash Programming Guides" found by google. Data regarding ICH9

This device is actually a JTAG adapter, but since it uses standard
FT2232 A interface pins, it can be easily used as SPI programmer
(tested it here successfully). PicoTAP supports only 5V output, so one
needs to reduce this to 3.3V in a same manner as DLP Design DLP-USB1232H, see

  http://flashrom.org/FT2232SPI_Programmer#DLP_Design_DLP-USB1232H



for details.

The PicoTAP pin-out is as follows:

  PicoTAP |  SPI
 ---------+-------
    TCK   | SCLK
    TMS   |  CS#
    TDI   |  SO
    TDO   |  SI
   /TRST  |  -
    GND   |  GND
    +5V   |  VCC, HOLD# & WP# after 3.3V regulator

I managed to run PicoTAP in 10MHz, 15MHz and 30MHz modes (by forcing
DIVIDE_BY), against SST25VF016B SPI flash, read/write/erase all worked
fine (write seems somewhat slow).

Thanks to TIAO/DIYGADGET for sponsoring a test device!

This is an FTDI FT2232H based device which provides an easily accessible JTAG,
SPI, I2C, serial breakout. The SPI part can be used to flash SPI flash chips
using flashrom.

http://www.diygadget.com/tiao-usb-multi-protocol-adapter-jtag-spi-i2c-serial.html
http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/TIAO_USB_Multi_Protocol_Adapter_User%27s_Manual#SPI_Connector_1



There are two SPI connectors (pin headers) on the board: SPI1, which is
connected to the FT2232H's A interface, and SPI2, which is connected to the
chip's B interface. Both can be used to flash SPI chips:

 flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=tumpa,port=A
 flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=tumpa,port=B

The default interface is A, so for SPI1 you can also just write:

 flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=tumpa

I tested all operations on both interfaces, everything works fine.

This allows USB-based external programmers to be used by non-root users
(which are in the 'plugdev' group). The file is to be installed by the
distros into the proper place (not sure if this is distro-specific). On
Debian the file will end up in /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_flashrom.rules.

On some systems the 'plugdev' group might have to adapted to whatever
the respective distro uses.

The following devices are listed so far:

 - Amontec JTAGkey(2)
 - Buspirate
 - Dediprog SF100
 - DLP Design DLP-USB1232H
 - FTDI FT4232H Mini-Module
