flashrom: Update to 1.0.1

Tested by flashing and reading an internal Winbond ROM on NetBSD-current.

# flashrom/1.0.1

    6b9e934f linux_spi: Reduce maximum read chunksize
    Improves compatibility with older Linux kernels that interpreted the \ 
interface differently.
    30c4cecd Makefile: Disable `-Werror=deprecated-declarations` on release branch
    Just to be able to compile the 1.0.x branch on newer systems.
    5639af64 linux_spi: Hardcode default spispeed of 2MHz
    Default speed of kernel drivers isn't always sane (any more).
    993e162d dediprog: Fix small, unaligned reads
    An actual bug, discovered during experiments with arbitrary layouts.
    ec8b8a7f board_enable.c: Fix dmi_match string for ThinkPad X201
    Probably just wasn't tested before.
    69f96f60 Fix verification with sparse layouts
    A regression that sneaked into flashrom-1.0: When verifying the whole flash \ 
after a partial write with a sparse layout (i.e. a layout whose regions don't \ 
cover the whole chip), flashrom tried to verify against the wrong data and \ 
failed.
    a3db7ed5 Fix erasing of unaligned regions
    This never worked correctly from the beginning. We completely erased every \ 
block that touched an included layout region. Now, we restore surrounding data \ 
in case a block expands beyond the region.

# flashrom/1.0

New major user-visible features

    Support layouts for read and erase commands
    New command line switch --noverify-all (-N) allows flashing of individual \ 
regions without reading the whole flash chip (particular useful with locked down \ 
Intel ME firmware)
    New command line switch --ifd to read the layout from an Intel Firmware \ 
Descriptor on flash
    We got rid of the delay-loop calibration (if the OS provides an accurate \ 
timer through clock_gettime())
    Reading speed of USB programmers should have increased (reading bigger \ 
chunks at once, we reduce the overhead)
    Support Intel 100 series PCHs (Sunrise Point, coupled with Skylake and Kaby \ 
Lake) and C620 series PCHs (Lewisburg paired with Workstation/Server versions of \ 
the former)

New programmers

    Intel 100 series / C620 series PCHs
    Intel I210 NICs (EEPROM and SPI)
    AMD Merlin Falcon (FP4)

New chips

    W25Q128.W

# flashrom/0.9.9

New major user-visible features

    Allow to link flashrom statically (with make CONFIG_STATIC=yes)
    Ease debugging of build problems with libraries
        Output way more debug information to build_details.txt
        Provide list of set make configuration variables that make builds fail
        Allow to easily disable groups of programmers depending on a library \ 
(make CONFIG_ENABLE_LIBUSB0_PROGRAMMERS=no CONFIG_ENABLE_LIBUSB1_PROGRAMMERS=no \ 
CONFIG_ENABLE_LIBPCI_PROGRAMMERS=no)
    Ignore 0x00 as a flash chip manufacturer ID in the generic match to avoid \ 
ambiguous messages
    Various improvements for serprog-based programmers
    Support arbitrary UART baud rates on Windows

New programmers

    Enable the dediprog module by default, add support for Dediprog SF600 and \ 
the new communication protocol of the SF100 with newer firmware.
    WCH CH341A
    VIA VT8251
    Add support to update the firmware of Promise UltraATA controllers

New chips

    ESI ES25P40, ES25P80 and ES25P16
    GigaDevice GD25VQ41B, GD25Q128C, GD25VQ21B, GD25VQ40C, GD25VQ80C and \ 
GD25VQ16C, GD25LQ40, GD25LQ80, GD25LQ16, GD25LQ64(B), GD25LQ128
    PMC Pm25LQ020, Pm25LQ040, Pm25LQ080, Pm25LQ016, Pm25LQ032C
    Sanyo LE25FU406C/LE25U40CMC
    SST SST25WF020A, SST25WF040B, SST25WF080B
    Winbond W29C512A/W29EE512

Infrastructural improvements and fixes

    Add support for libftdi1 (previous libftdi support still in place for \ 
backward compatibility but will eventually be removed)
    Add infrastructure for libusb1 and use it for new programmers (existing code \ 
will be migrated from libusb0 continuously in the future)
    Many cross-platform and cross-architecture improvements:
        Fix compilation on OSX and Solaris-based systems
        Add support for GNU Hurd
        Add support for musl libc
        Use nanosleep() instead of usleep() where available (enables building \ 
with uclibc)
        Support compilation on Android (bionic libc)
        Partial architecture support for alpha hppa m68k sh s39
    Rigorously check integrity of I/O stream data (e.g. to notice full \ 
filesystems when writing flash data to a file)
    Add make parameters for easier disabling/enabling of various classes of \ 
programmers: CONFIG_NOTHING=yes CONFIG_EVERYTHING=yes \ 
CONFIG_ENABLE_LIBUSB0_PROGRAMMERS=no CONFIG_ENABLE_LIBUSB1_PROGRAMMERS=no \ 
CONFIG_ENABLE_LIBPCI_PROGRAMMERS=no

conservative defaults etc.).

one in Bolton FCHs (A78, A88X, A77E).
        Intel Silvermont chipsets (Bay Trail, Rangeley and Avoton) and Wildcat \ 
Point (for Broadwell).

firmware of your screen over VGA/DVI(!).
        Extension of the rayer_spi module to supported various similar devices \ 
(Altera ByteBlasterMV, Atmel STK200/300, Wiggler LPT).
    Switching betweens chips on boards with GIGABYTE's DualBIOS (using the \ 
dualbiosindex programmer parameter).
    Enable fwh_idsel parameter for C-ICH and ICH2/3/4/5 chipsets.
    Finer-grained display of support status used for flash chip operations, \ 
chipsets, mainboards and programmers (new states: configuration-dependent, not \ 
applicable).
