Hello all,
I am using the flashrom with an external programmer to flash
various SPI flashes a lot.
In most cases I do not care about the old flash contents when
flashing, so the "Reading old flash chip contents"
step does not have any added value in my use cases. The code also
has a FIXME note where this is hardcoded to make it configurable
in the future. I would like to patch it if possible.
Please propose me command line arguments for disabling it. My
proposal:
-N | --nobackup skip reading back old flash contents before
write
I know -N could be confused with -n but the same applies to the -v
(verify) and -V (verbose).
I also could live without the short argument, but that would break
the "standard".
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
