[flashrom] flashrom ERASE FAILED

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

thanks for your report. I'll focus on the compilation issues you found.
Stefan Tauner already answered the erase related question.

gcc bug. It complains about the parameter name in a function declaration
in programmer.h:
void register_spi_programmer(const struct spi_programmer *programmer);
Will add a workaround (rename programmer to pgm here).

We explicitly check if we need to use the variant with or without the
domain parameter. This check for PCI_LIB_VERSION >= 0x020200 should work
fine.

And here's the source of the compilation problem: Your distribution
ships a beta version of libpci/pciutils which uses the interface of
libpci 2.2 but without the matching version definition. We could hack
around that with an additional check #if defined(PCI_CAP_ID_HT), but
that matches only 2.1.99-test6 and above which would fix your case but
leave 2.1.99-test3 to 2.1.99-test5 unfixed. It's the best possible
solution, though.

Apparently Red Hat had forgotten the gcc 2.96 disaster and tried to
repeat it with a beta libpci. Oh well.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
