Add infrastructure to check the maximum supported flash size of chipsets and mainboards
The rationale is to warn users when they, for example, try to flash a 512KB parallel flash chip but their chipset only supports 256KB, or they try to flash 512KB and the chipset _does_ theoretically support 512KB but their special board doesn't wire all address lines and thus supports only 256 KB ROM chips at maximum. This has cost Uwe hours of debugging on some board already, until he figured out what was going on. We should try warn our users where possible about this. The chipset and the chip may have more than one bus in common (e.g. SB600 and Pm49* can both speak LPC+FWH) and on SB600/SB7x0/SB8x0 there are different limits for LPC and FWH. The only way to tell the user about the exact circumstances is to spew error messages per bus. The code will issue a warning during probe (which does fail for some chips if the size is too big) and abort before the first real read/write/erase action. If no action is specified, the warning is printed anyway. That way, a user can find out why probe might not have worked, and will be stopped before he/she gets incorrect results. Add a bitcount function to the infrastructure. Corresponding to flashrom svn r755. Signed-off-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006@gmx.net> Acked-by: Uwe Hermann <uwe@hermann-uwe.de>
