Hi Richard,

I remember that you once wrote that Cheetah support for flashrom would
be desirable. I just posted a stub patch with Cheetah support to the
flashrom mailing list. You may be interested in subscribing to the
flashrom list: http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
The patch is available for download here:

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
