Changes (by hailfinger):

  * milestone:  flashrom v1.1 => flashrom v1.0


Comment:

 flashrom has been changed to consistent erase-before-write operation.

 Support for partial erase has been added, so now is the time to consider
 splitting write and erase and have some walker function which walks the
 blocks and erases one, then writes it etc.
