get_flash_region() emits a struct flash_region, which uses chipoff_t for
the start and end addresses of a region. chipoff_t is defined as a valid
flash address, so it was wrong to be setting the end address to start +
len; this is clearly wrong in the case where there is a single region
because setting end to the flash size generates an address that is
beyond the end of the chip (due to zero-indexing).
This changes the one actual implementation of .get_region in ichspi.c to
use inclusive upper bounds, and corrects all callers of
get_flash_region() to treat the upper bounds as inclusive. Overall this
reduces complexity slightly by removing more downward adjustments by 1
than it needs to add upward adjustments.
TEST=on yaviks, `flashrom -V -x` prints equivalent messages about
"x region (0xZZZZ..0xZZZZ) is readable" before and after this
patch.

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`.
