Verifying flash... VERIFIED.
If you're going to review this, make sure you keep a stack of bananas
(quickly mobilized carbohydrates for your brain), a bucket of ice (to
prevent brain overheating) and a bottle of aspirin handy. If any code is
unclear, please tell me and I'll try to add comments to improve readability.
This code has been tested. Testing erase (and checking with a separate
readback that erase actually worked) and write (same test with separate
readback) would be highly appreciated. Verbose logs are even more
appreciated.
I think the code is ready for merge if you trust write/erase to never
fail. The error cases still need to be tested. Should we reread the
whole chip if write/erase failed to make sure our current view of the
chip contents is not stale?
This patch makes flashrom use real partial writes. If you write an image
full of 0xff, flashrom will erase and detect that no write is needed. If
you write an image which differs only in some parts from the current
flash contents, flashrom will detect that and not touch unchanged areas.
Fix a long-standing bug in need_erase() for 256 byte granularity as well.
Nice side benefit: Detailed progress printing.
S means skipped
E means erased
W means written
Thanks for Andrew Morgan for testing countless iterations of this patch.
Thanks to Richard A. Smith for testing on Dediprog.
Thanks to David Hendricks for the review.
