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.

That means you can tell flashrom to read exactly bytes 12345-56789
(start 12345, length 44445) and it will not fetch a single byte more.

Uwe tested this on one LPC, one SPI, and one parallel flash board.

And even when it checks if the erase worked, the result of that check is
often ignored.

Convert all erase functions and actually check return codes
almost everywhere.
Check inside all erase_* routines if erase worked, not outside.
erase_sector_jedec and erase_block_jedec have changed prototypes to
enable erase checking.

Uwe successfully tested LPC on an CK804 box and SPI on some SB600 box.

This was partly due to a design problem in the abstraction layer.

There should be exactly two different functions for reading SPI chips:
- memory mapped reads
- SPI command reads.

Each of them should be contained in a separate function, optionally
taking parameters where needed.

This patch solves the problems mentioned above, shortens the code and
makes the code logic a lot more obvious.

Since open-coding the min() function leads to errors, include it in this
patch as well.

Add chip_{read,write}n to the external flasher infrastructure which
read/write n bytes at once.

Fix a few places where the code used memcpy/memcmp although that is
strictly impossible with external flashers.
Place a FIXME in the layout.c code because usage is not totally clear
and needs to be fixed to support external flashers.

As a nice side benefit, we get a noticeable speedup for builtin flash
reading which is now a memcpy() of the full flash area instead of a
series of single-byte reads.

Right now, the annotation only differentiates between SPI and non-SPI.
Anyone who knows more about a specific flash chip should feel free to
update it.

The existing flashbus variable was abused to denote the SPI controller
type. Use an aptly named variable for that purpose.

Once this patch is merged, the chipset/programmer init functions can set
supported flash chip types and flashrom can automatically select only
matching probe/read/erase/write functions. A side benefit of that will
be the elimination of the Winbond W29EE011 vs. AMIC A49LF040A conflict.

Some MMIO accesses used volatile, others didn't (and risked
non-execution of side effects) and even with volatile, some accesses
looked dubious.

Since the MMIO accessor functions and the onboard flash accessor
functions are functionally identical (but have different signatures),
make the flash accessors wrappers for the MMIO accessors.

For some of the conversions, I used Coccinelle. Semantic patch follows:

@@ typedef uint8_t; expression a; volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - b[a] + *(b
+ a) @@ expression a; volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - *(b) |= (a); + *(b) =

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.
