[flashrom] [RFC] Abort early or abort late on failure?

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

flashrom currently doesn't have a coherent policy about failed writes.
Some chip drivers abort on the first failed write, others keep going
until the end. Either variant makes sense, but mixing them is suboptimal.

The following policies are available:
- hardcode abort early (on first error)
- hardcode abort never (ignore all errors until the end)
- switch behaviour based on commandline parameter.

Opinions?

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
