Hi Richard,
I remember that you once wrote that Cheetah support for flashrom would be desirable. I just posted a stub patch with Cheetah support to the flashrom mailing list. You may be interested in subscribing to the flashrom list: http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom The patch is available for download here: http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/596/raw/
Regards, Carl-Daniel

I wrote this Cheetah support stub months ago and carried it forward over various interface changes. I don't have the hardware, so I'm not really motivated to finish this.
This patch does:
- Hook up Cheetah support in the generic code
- Make sure it is disabled by default (zero footprint in the binary)
- Provide some #if 0 code as a good starting point
- Provide a compilable skeleton to be filled in
TODO for anyone who cares about Cheetah support:
- Implement cheetah_spi_init
- Implement cheetah_spi_shutdown
- Add an #include for the cheetah headers
- Change #if 0 to #if 1.
Given that this patch makes sure to have zero impact on the binary (because it is compiled out by default) and because it lowers the barrier for someone else to come and implement the rest of cheetah support, I'm for merging.
