> Speed up RayeR SPIPGM driver in flashrom by a factor of 2.
>
> Allow specification of an alternate base port with
> flashrom -p rayer_spi:lptport=0x278
> Any port number is allowed as long as it is nonzero, below 65536 and a
> multiple of four.
>
> Untested, should work.
>
> Martin, this one should hopefully reach the speed of SPIPGM.exe for
> reads. I'll ask Idwer to provide a DOS binary for you.
