I have committed the patch in r3779, the code worked fine on my
RS690/SB600 board after a few changes.

The most important changes is to drop the "sleep(1)" from
sb600_spi_write() as otherwise writing takes _veery_ long (I actually
killed flashrom after 7-8 minutes as I didn't want to wait longer).
Without the sleep() a full write of a 1MB chip still takes 2:30 minutes,
I'm not sure if that's normal.

Another change I did, was to change 'outb' to 'OUTB' to make it portable
to other systems (*BSD).

The rest of the changes is purely coding-style fixes and making the
printf() output a bit more consistent with the rest of flashrom.

One other change I'd suggest is this:

The sb600spi.c file may have started out by copying the ichspi.c file
(that's where the copyright lines come from), but AFAICS pretty much none
of that content is left in sb600spi.c, so the copyright lines should
be adapted accordingly. Please let me know if that's ok.


Thanks again for the great patch!

Uwe.
