Not yet, but it is easy to add (maybe 5 lines of code).

Choosing the FWH device happens by adjusting the probe address.

You have to modify the calls to programmer_map_flash_region() in
map_flash_registers() and in probe_flash(). 0xffffffff has to be changed
to the last byte of the address space of your secondary flash chip.

That's it. I plan to write a patch which allows you to set that stuff
from the command line (-p internal:flashtop=0xffefffff), but that may
not happen before end of March.
