[flashrom] [commit] r693 - trunk

Author: hailfinger
Date: 2009-08-19 17:03:28 +0200 (Wed, 19 Aug 2009)
New Revision: 693

Modified:
   trunk/flashrom.8
   trunk/flashrom.c
Log:
Current programmer parameter syntax is
-p programmer=parameter
Unfortunately, many parameters are of the form variable=val, so we get
commandlines like this:
flashrom -p it87spi=port=0x820
and this looks horrible.

Using : instead of = would make such parameters look better:
flashrom -p it87spi:port=0x820

As a side benefit, this patch mentions the programmer name in the error
message if it is unknown.
