[flashrom] [PATCH] Fix undefined behavior in some preprocessor define checks

Hi Stefan,

this patch includes [flashrom] [PATCH] Fix undefined behavior in OS defines
Is that intentional?

One minor nitpick: Using "#ifdef IS_LINUX" will be true on all 
platforms with that change. Admittedly it probably was undefined
behaviour before, so this is an improvement. I wonder if we should add a
comment before the IS_ and USE_ #defines to tell people to always use
them with #if and never with if defined() or #ifdef.

Acked-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006 at gmx.net>

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
