Every SPI programmer driver had its own completely different chip write
implementation, and all of them were insufficiently commented. Create
spi_write_chunked as a copy of spi_read_chunked and convert all SPI
programmers to use it. No functional changes except: - Bus Pirate uses
12 Byte writes instead of 8 Byte writes - SB600 uses 5 Byte writes
instead of 1 Byte writes

Programmer debug messages during programmer init/shutdown are useful
because they print hardware settings and desired configuration.
They help in getting a quick overview of hardware and software state on
startup and shutdown.
Programmer debug messages during flash chip access are mostly a
distraction in logs and should only be enabled if someone is having
problems which are suspected to stem from a programmer hardware or
programmer software bug. Disable those messages by default, they can be
reenabled by #define COMM_DEBUG in the affected programmer file.
An added benefit is a tremendous size reduction in verbose
probe/read/write/erase logs because only flash chip driver messages
remain. In some cases, logs will shrink from 65 MB to 10 kB or less.
The right(tm) fix would be two different debug levels (DEBUG and SPEW)
and the ability to differentiate between programmer debug messages and
flash chip debug messages. Until the design for the message printing
infrastructure is finished, this is the best stop-gap measure we can
get.

FT2232 ran realloc() for every executed command. Start with a big enough
buffer and don't touch buffer size unless it needs to grow.
Bitbang was slightly better: It only ran realloc() if buffer size
changed. Still, the solution above improves performance and reliability.

Pretty much everybody who used the FT2232 SPI driver had problems with
incorrect reads from time to time. One reason was that the hardware is
pretty timing sensitive even for reads.
The other reason was that the code silently ignored errors. This patch
doesn't add any error recovery, but it will emit error messages if
FT2232 communication goes wrong. That allows us to track down errors
without investing hours in driver debugging.
Thanks to Jeremy Buseman <naviathan@gmail.com> for testing. He found out
that certain libftdi/libusb/kernel/hardware combinations drop some bytes
without returning any error codes.

I decided to fill in the info for a
few chips to illustrate how this works both for uniform and non-uniform
sector sizes.
struct eraseblock{
int size; /* Eraseblock size */
int count; /* Number of contiguous blocks with that size */
};
struct eraseblock doesn't correspond with a single erase block, but with
a group of contiguous erase blocks having the same size.
Given a (top boot block) flash chip with the following weird, but
real-life structure:
top
16384
8192
8192
32768
65536
65536
65536
65536
65536
65536
65536
bottom
we get the following encoding:
{65536,7},{32768,1},{8192,2},{16384,1}
Although the number of blocks is bigger than 4, the number of block
groups is only 4. If you ever add some flash chips with more than 4
contiguous block groups, the definition will not fit into the 4-member
array anymore and gcc will recognize that and error out. No undetected
overflow possible. In that case, you simply increase array size a bit.
For modern flash chips with uniform erase block size, you only need one
array member anyway.
Of course data types will need to be changed if you ever get flash chips
with more than 2^30 erase blocks, but even with the lowest known erase
granularity of 256 bytes, these flash chips will have to have a size of
a quarter Terabyte. I'm pretty confident we won't see such big EEPROMs
in the near future (or at least not attached in a way that makes
flashrom usable). For SPI chips, we even have a guaranteed safety factor
of 4096 over the maximum SPI chip size (which is 2^24). And if such a
big flash chip has uniform erase block size, you could even split it
among the 4 array members. If you change int count to unsigned int
count, the storable size doubles. So with a split and a slight change of
data type, the maximum ROM chip size is 2 Terabytes.
Since many chips have multiple block erase functions where the
eraseblock layout depends on the block erase function, this patch
couples the block erase functions with their eraseblock layouts.
struct block_eraser {
struct eraseblock{
unsigned int size; /* Eraseblock size */
unsigned int count; /* Number of contiguous blocks with that size */
} eraseblocks[NUM_ERASEREGIONS];
int (*block_erase) (struct flashchip *flash, unsigned int blockaddr, unsigned int blocklen);
} block_erasers[NUM_ERASEFUNCTIONS];

The __func__ variant is standardized in C99 and recommended to be
used instead of __FUNCTION__ in the gcc info page.
Only _very_ old versions of gcc did not know about __func__, but we've
been using both __func__ and __FUNCTION__ for a long while now, and
nobody complained about this, so all our users seem to use recent
enough compilers.

Some SPI chip drivers and the generic 1-byte SPI chip write functions
didn't include the automatic erase present in other chip drivers.
Since the majority is definitely auto-erase, change the remaining
explicit-erase cases to be auto-erase as well.

Some SPI opcodes need to be sent in direct succession after each other
without any chip deselect happening in between. A prominent example is
WREN (Write Enable) directly before PP (Page Program). Intel calls the
first opcode in such a row "preopcode".
Right now, we ignore the direct succession requirement completely and it
works pretty well because most onboard SPI masters have a timing or
heuristics which make the problem disappear.
The FT2232 SPI flasher is different. Since it is an external flasher,
timing is very different to what we can expect from onboard flashers and
this leads to failure at slow speeds.
This patch allows any function to submit multiple SPI commands in a
stream to any flasher. Support in the individual flashers isn't
implemented yet, so there is one generic function which passes the each
command in the stream one-by-one to the command functions of the
selected SPI flash driver.

There are certainly possible improvements: The code has hard-coded
values for which interface of the ftdi chip to use (interface B was
chosen because libftdi seems to have trouble with A right now), what
clock rate use for the SPI interface (I've been running at 30Mhz, but
the patch sets it to 10Mhz), and possibly others. I think this means
that per-programmer options might be a good idea at some point.
