[flashrom] [PATCH] Reenable forced read

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Forced read functionality was disabled when programmer registration was
merged in r.

We now support registering more than one controller at once for each bus
type. This can happen e.g. if one SPI controller has an attached flash
chip and one controller doesn't. In such a case we rely on the probe
mechanism to find exactly one chip, and the probe mechanism will
remember which controller/bus the flash chip is attached to. A forced
read does not have the luxury of knowing which compatible controller to
use, so this case is handled by always picking the first one. That may
or may not be the correct one, but there is no way (yet) to specify
which controller a flash chip is attached to.
