 - Update manpage, we now report supported boards via -L.
 
 - Add some missing escaping for '-' characters in the manpage.

Corresponding to flashrom svn r543.

 - Shorten some of the really long device names, so that -L output looks
   nicer.
   
 - Display a "table header" for all entries/columns in -L output.
 
 - Make -L output tabular for all lists for better readability.
 
 - Do not print "unknown XXXX SPI chip" entries in -L output.
 
 - And random other cosmetics...

I tested identify, read, write, erase, verify successfully, HOWEVER,
this will only work (at least on my card) after de-soldering the
soldered-on PLCC32 one-time programmable (OTP) chip (Holtek HT27C010)
and soldering on a (re-)programmable flash ROM chip or a socket.

Example:

http://www.coreboot.org/File:Sii_controller1.jpg
http://www.coreboot.org/File:Sii_controller2.jpg



The OTP chip which came on my card does not react to the standard JEDEC
identify/read/write/erase commands anymore, so if all other such PCI0680
controllers which are around also have the same OTP chip (that's not
necessarily the case), they cannot be used as "external programmer" in
flashrom without the above mentioned modifications.

Thanks Michael Heimann for reporting.

The board was misidentified as a GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3H though, as the
old PCI IDs and subsystem IDs of match. Thus, use differing ones for
both boards, which is not so easy. The only usable-looking difference
is in the SATA controller subsystem IDs. This should allow us to
properly detect both boards.

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) =
*(b) | (a); @@ expression a; volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - *(b) = (a); +
mmio_writeb(a, b); @@ volatile uint8_t *b; @@ - *(b) + mmio_readb(b) @@

They serve pretty much no purpose, compilers can optimize pretty much

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.

Until the ICH SPI driver can handle preopcodes as standalone opcodes,
we should handle such special opcode failure gracefully on ICH and
compatible chipsets.

This fixes status register writes on almost all ICH+VIA SPI masters.

The fix is almost identical to r484, but this time it affects the EWSR
(Enable Write Status Register) opcode instead of the WREN (Write Enable)
opcode.

With the differentiated return codes introduced in r500, the workaround
is more precise this time. The old WREN workaround was updated as well.

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).
