- PowerPC (big endian)
- MIPS (big+little endian)

No changes to programmer specific code. This means any drivers with MMIO
access will _not_ suddenly start working on big endian systems, but with
this patch everything is in place to fix them.

Compilation should work on all architectures listed above for all
drivers except nic3com and nicrealtek which require PCI Port IO which is
x86-only for now.

To compile without nic3com and nicrealtek, run
make distclean
make CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_NICREALTEK=no

Thanks to Misha Manulis for testing early versions of this patch on
PowerPC (big endian) with the satasii programmer.
Thanks to Segher Boessenkool for design review and for helping out with
compiler tricks and pointing out that we need eieio on PowerPC.
Thanks to Vladimir Serbinenko for compile testing on MIPS (little
endian) and PowerPC (big endian) and for runtime testing on MIPS (little
endian).
Thanks to David Daney for compile testing on MIPS (big endian).
Thanks to Uwe Hermann for compile and runtime testing on x86_64.

DO NOT RUN flashrom ON NON-X86 AFTER APPLYING THIS PATCH!
This patch only provides the infrastructure, but does not convert any
drivers, so flashrom will compile, but it won't do the right thing on
non-x86 platforms.

The vendor sold different designs under that name, the patch works with
the one that has an Actel FPGA as PCI-to-Flash bridge.

The Flash chip is a "Macronix MX29F001B" (128 KB, parallel) soldered
directly to the PCB.
Flash operations (PROBE, READ, ERASE, WRITE) work as expected.

It doesn't make sense to probe for SPI chips on a LPC host, nor does it
make sense to probe for LPC chips on a Parallel host.

This change is backwards compatible, but adding host protocol info to
chipset init functions will speed up probing.

Once all chipset init functions are updated and the Winbond W29EE011 and
AMIC A49LF040A chip definitions are updated, the W29EE011 workaround can
be deleted as the W29/A49 conflict magically disappears.

Also, add initial support for the Atmel AT29C010A chip (which I inserted
in a 3COM 3C90xB card for testing). It can be detected, read works,
erase works, but write will need some additional code (will post in

Use chipaddr instead of volatile uint8_t * because when we access chips
in external flashers, they are not accessed via pointers at all.

Benefits: This allows us to differentiate between volatile machine
memory accesses and flash chip accesses. It also enforces usage
of chip_{read,write}[bwl] to access flash chips, so nobody will
unintentionally use pointers to access chips anymore. Some unneeded
casts are removed as well. Grepping for chip operations and machine
memory operations doesn't yield any false positives anymore.

Compile tested on 32 bit and 64 bit Linux.

The emulation works by splitting 32 bit accesses into 16 bit accesses
and 16 bit accesses into to 8 bit accesses. That way, external flashers
can mix and match the amount of emulation they need.

Move the reusable PCI specific parts into pcidev.c, they'll be usable
for other NIC code (Realtek, VIA, ...) and also for SATA/IDE controller
cards as external programmers (for every PCI device which can program
EEPROMs basically).

Also add print_supported_pcidevs() to show the supported PCI devices
(currently only NICs, soon more) in the 'flashrom -L' output.

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.

Usage:

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

Erasing flash chip... SUCCESS.

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.
