[flashrom] Radix for layout ranges

[David Hendricks]

Hi,
I just noticed (read: hit an issue) that ranges specified in layout files
are always assumed to be hex. From layout.c:
rom_entries[romimages].start = strtol(tstr1, (char **)NULL, 16);
 rom_entries[romimages].end = strtol(tstr2, (char **)NULL, 16);

Is there a specific reason base 16 is used? Should we just leave it at "0"
and let strtol decide, depending on the prefix (0x for hex, dec otherwise)?

The reason I bring this up is because I am working with testing scripts that
generate ranges on the fly. It's an extra step to convert values to hex
(printf %x $value?) and I want to reduce dependency on external programs /
maximize portability.

If this sounds reasonable, the patch attached simply changes the radix used
by strtol to "0" do dec is chosen if there is no prefix and hex is chosen if
the number is prefixed with 0x.
