Mapping a chip with the internal programmer on x86 will fail if the chip is larger than 16 MByte due to traditional x86 architecture constraints. No LPC/FWH chips of sizes bigger than 4 MByte are known, and Parallel chips are limited to older x86 chipsets and way smaller sizes because of address line shortage. We do see quite large SPI chips (even >16 MByte) and flashrom shouldn't fail probing or accessing them. Given that we have no chance to map those chips into the address space completely, make sure they are handled properly with indirect accesses
Caveat: The code is proof-of-concept quality and litters the codebase with exit(1). We need to discuss what do do in that case.
Testing should be done on a x86 machine which has SPI flash, and with r1702 reverted to have the 32 MByte chips again in flashchips.c (ignore the incorrect r1701 changelog which speaks of 32 MByte chip removal, that only happens in r1702).
If flashrom successfully finishes probing without an abort in between, the patch does what it should. Or not. Read on. Without this patch and a reverted r1702, flashrom may successfully finish probing anyway due to the earlier physmap cleanups by Niklas Söderlund (r1744 and r1745). That's just the result from missing error checks, though. Applying this patch against a r1701 checkout (all files being r1701) should result in a fixed probe vs. a failing probe for plain r1701.
A backported version of the patch against r1701 can be found at http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=2027
Thanks for reading.
