Flashrom/1.1

After about 1.5 years, we can announce a fresh flashrom 1.1. Right after branching flashrom 1.0, we merged SPI 4-byte address (4BA) support for most compatible programmers, enabling the use of flash chips bigger than 16MiB. Half a dozen new programmers made it into the release, and we also had some more user-visible changes.

New major user-visible features

• 4-byte address support for many SPI programmers
• New option to use a reference file for flash contents (--flash-contents)
• Layout support for coreboot's FMAP format (--fmap, --fmap-file)
• BAUD rate selection for Buspirate SPI
• Support for the ENE Embedded Debug Interface (EDI), probably our first non-jedec SPI target
• On Intel ME enabled systems, internal flashing is allowed by default

New programmers

• ENE Embedded Debug Interface EDI
• Linux' MTD interface
• Digilent SPI for the iCEblink40 development board
• Developerbox/CP2104 bit banging
• J-Link SPI
• Dediprog firmwares >= 7.2.30
• Dediprog SF200
