Hello build bot (Jenkins), Nikolai Artemiev,
I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit
https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/70895
to look at the new patch set (#5).
Change subject: cli_classic.c: Allow ctrl of behaviour with WO and RO regions ......................................................................
cli_classic.c: Allow ctrl of behaviour with WO and RO regions
Add two force flags to the flashrom CLI frontend, --force-skip-nonreadable - skip reading non-readbale regions without failure, --force-skip-nonwritable - skip writing non-writable regions without failure.
Each flag allows the user to finely control the behaviour of flashrom read and write operations when flashrom encounters a known permission problem. This can be useful in cases such as wanting to write a pre-padded BIOS image across flash where locked regions just wish to be left untouched without the need to craft a custom layout file for each case. Alternatively, to read a copy of flash complete with padding for regions that are known not to be readable at runtime however the user does not know the layout of flash or just wishes to have a padded binary read back.
