[flashrom] Giving to -i option some real use

[Nico Huber]

Hi All,

I'm interested too in this feature. My use case is internal flashing on
modern Intel systems where parts of the flashchip are read protected.
This is a priority for me during the next week, but I believe my time is
better spent reviewing someone else' patch than reinventing my own.

There are also other patches floating around that look like tackling the
same problem. I'll look at these today:

along with a branch on github:

Another option to enforce the whole erase region is read, is to simply
constrain the used block erasers to those that match the layout. This
would simplify things a lot. And, IMO, you can have a layout with erase
block aligned regions in most use cases.

Nico
