That needs to be dealt otherwise.

Darn, I was hoping to rope you into doing work for me ;-)

What i meant is that you specify in
the layout file the image you would normally specify by -i
regionname:filename.

if there is no file name in the cli, look in the layout file.

So far so good.

if there
is none there either, use the one of the complete image (for the -w
case, -r would be slightly different).

So the behavior is the same as it is now? That is, the -w argument is the complete ROM-sized file and flashrom will use the layout info to seek to the correct offset in the file?
