This needs more testing and investigation (partly timing related, it
seems). Reads did work in multiple cases, though.

The new option is '-p gfxnvidia', rest of the interface is as usual.

I tested a successful identify and read on a "RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro"
card for now, erase and write did NOT work properly so far!

Please do not attempt to write/erase cards yet, unless you can recover!

In addition to the NVIDIA handling code it was required to call
programmer_shutdown() in a lot more places, otherwise the graphics card
will be disabled in the init function, but never enabled again as the
shutdown function is not called.
The shutdown handling may be changed to use atexit() later.

Example make commandline if you want only internal programmers:
make CONFIG_FT2232SPI=no CONFIG_SERPROG=no CONFIG_NIC3COM=no
CONFIG_SATASII=no CONFIG_DRKAISER=no CONFIG_DUMMY=no

Of course, all of the CONFIG_* symbols can be mixed and matched as
needed. CONFIG_FT2232SPI is special because even if it is enabled, make
will check if the headers are available and skip it otherwise.

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.

There is one additional FIXME comment in the code, but AFAICS that
problem is not solvable with current libftdi.

In particular, it should no longer be necessary to patch the makefile
for hassle-free compilation.

The targets are:
make export
make tarball
Both preserve svn revisions and the exported tree does not depend on
subversion in any way or shape.

Documentation for this feature has been added to README.

We need this for five reasons:
1. Packagers currently have to patch flashrom source to compile it on
systems without subversion. We should make it easier for them.
2. Snapshot tarballs currently have a .svn 1.5 directory included but
this will cause errors for users with older svn 1.4. Not requiring
subversion for snapshot compilation is best.
3. Since packagers seldom the svn revision in their fixup patches, some
packages out there have incorrect or no revision, only major version
numbers.
4. Releasing a new version of flashrom needs too many changes to the
makefile which have to be reverted instantly after the release. That is
unnecessary churn.
5. Making a release is easy with the change. Update the major version,
then run "make tarball".

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.

Usage:

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
No operations were specified.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com -E
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
Erasing flash chip... SUCCESS.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com -wv backup.bin
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Programming page: 1023 at address: 0x0000ffc0
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

$ ./flashrom -p nic3com -r backup.bin
flashrom v0.9.0-r498
Found NIC "3COM 3C905C: EtherLink 10/100 PCI (TX)" (10b7:9200), addr = 0xa400
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
Found chip "Atmel AT49BV512" (64 KB) at physical address 0xffff0000.
Reading flash... done.

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.

The old variant of using &>/dev/null works on bash and zsh, but not on
dash and tcsh. dash and tcsh interpret it as "background command and
truncate /dev/null" which is not what we want. >& works on tcsh and
bash, but it is not POSIX compliant.
Since make uses /bin/sh and /bin/sh has to be POSIX compliant, we can
use the POSIX variant of stderr and stdout redirection.

>/dev/null 2>&1
is POSIX compliant. This is specified in SuSv3, Shell Command Language,
sections 2.7.2 and 2.7.6.
