When flash regions are protected, erase could incorrectly erase regions
which were meant to be protected by requesting the correct size but
using an erase opcode with coarser granularity than desired (for
instance using a 16-byte erase command while attempting to erase only 8
bytes).
This fixes that by exchanging the nesting of the loops over erase blocks
and flash regions.
Old:
- Select erasefns
- Loop over blocks to erase for each selected erasefn
- Loop over programmer flash regions within erase block
- Erase regions (may fail since selected erasefn will be
too big if flash region is smaller than erase block)
New:
- Loop over programmer flash regions within erase block
- Select erasefns within programer flash region
- Loop over blocks to erase for each selected erasefn
- Erase regions
Eraser selection and erasing has also been factored out into a helper
function to manage nesting depth.
TEST=New test cases pass, whereas some of them fail without the changes
to erasure_layout.c

flashrom README
===============
flashrom is a utility for detecting, reading, writing, verifying and erasing
flash chips. It is often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware images
in-system using a supported mainboard, but it also supports flashing of network
cards (NICs), SATA controller cards, and other external devices which can
program flash chips.
It supports a wide range of flash chips (most commonly found in SOIC8, DIP8,
SOIC16, WSON8, PLCC32, DIP32, TSOP32, and TSOP40 packages), which use various
protocols such as LPC, FWH, parallel flash, or SPI.
Do not use flashrom on laptops (yet)! The embedded controller (EC) present in
many laptops might interact badly with any attempts to communicate with the
flash chip and may brick your laptop.
Please make a backup of your flash chip before writing to it.
Please see the flashrom(8) manpage :doc:`classic_cli_manpage`.
