New Revision: 3097

Modified:
   trunk/util/flashrom/chipset_enable.c
Log:
This implements support for devices using AMD Geode companion chip
CS5536 that have the Boot ROM on NOR flash that is directly connected to
FLASH_CS3 (Boot Flash Chip Select).
We need to write enable it in the NORF_CTL MSR register for flashrom to
be able to write to it, including JEDEC probe commands.

This patch allows us to stop using AMD gx_utils.ko for BIOS flashing on
the DBE61.
