Hi folks,
for a while now, we have some functions in the libflashrom API to query information about supported devices and such. The original patch[1] left some questions open. And, alas, as there was some broken code and no feedback, parts of it were dropped.
So, I wonder if there are any users of this API already? Anything that might break if we change it?
Why I'm picking this up is that there are some issues with the design. For instance, the exposed structs form an ABI that might need versioning if somebody wants to link a shared library. And the cleanup part of the API is too simple, i.e. flashrom_data_free() doesn't allow anything but a shallow free().
There's also an associated ticket[2].
