The patch updates calculation of total length for the operation which is displayed with progress. The reason is: even if, for example the whole chip erase or write was requested, the actual length of bytes modified can be less than whole chip size (areas which already have expected content, are skipped).

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`.
Building / installing / packaging
---------------------------------
flashrom is built with **meson**. TLDR:
::
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
meson test -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
