The patch adds command line option to handle the following situation:
There is a region which is requested to be erased (or written, because
the write operation uses erase too). Some of the areas inside this
region don't need to be erased, because the bytes already have expected
value. Such areas can be skipped.
The logic selects eraseblocks that can cover the areas which need to be
erased. Suppose there is a region which is partially covered by
eraseblocks of size S (partially because remaining areas don't need to
be erased). Now suppose we can cover the whole region with eraseblock
of larger size, S+1, and erase it all at once. This will run faster:
erase opcode will only be sent once instead of many smaller opcodes.
However, this will run erase over some areas of the chip memory that
didn't need to be erased. Which means, the chip, as a hardware, will
wear faster.
New command line option sets the maximum % memory that is allowed for
redundant erase. Default is 0, S+1 size block only selected if all the
area needs to be erased in full. 50 means that if more than a half of
the area needs to be erased, a S+1 size block can be selected to cover
all area with one block.
The tradeoff is the speed of programming operation VS the longevity of
the chip. Default is longevity.

Original progress reporting implemented in CB:49643 and it has some
issues, for example:
size_t start_address = start;
size_t end_address = len - start;
End address is anything but length minus start address.
update_progress(flash,
FLASHROM_PROGRESS_READ,
/*current*/ start - start_address + to_read,
/*total*/ end_address);
Total should just be length if that's how current value is computed.
---
libflashrom needs to know total size ahead of time.
That's init_progress() and changed update_progress().
It also needs to store the last current value to be able to update it.
That's stage_progress in flashrom_flashctx.
Measuring accurately amount of data which will be read/erased/written
isn't easy because things can be skipped as optimizations. The next
patch in the chain aims to address this, there are TODO/FIXME
comments there.
---
CLI shares terminal with the rest of the code and has to maintain more
state to handle that reasonably well.
Similar to CB:64668, an effort is made to keep the progress on a
single line. Non-progress output is kept track of to know when
moving to a new line cannot be avoided.
---
A script to test the CLI:
\#!/bin/bash
t=${1:-rewW}
shift

./flashrom -p dummy:emulate=W25Q128FV,freq=64mhz -r dump.rom --progress "$@"

In the latest pciutils(v3.13.0), it supports accessing pci registers
by ecam. This patch uses libpci version check to decide whether
flashrom calls libpci and use 0xcf8/0xcfc or ecam to access pci
registers.
