Add option to read ROM layout from IFD
Add an option --ifd to read the ROM layout from an Intel Firmware Descriptor (IFD). Works the same as the -l option, if given, -i specifies the images to update. v2: o Rebased on libflashrom, use libflashrom interface. o Use functions from ich_descriptors.c. v3: o Move ich_descriptors.o to LIB_OBJS, thus build it independent of arch and programmers. o Bail out if we aren't compiled for little endian. o Update flashrom.8.tmpl. v4: o Incorporated David's comments. o Removed single-character `-d` option. v5: Changed region names to match the output of `ifdtool --layout ...` Change-Id: Ifafff2bf6d5c5e62283416b3269723f81fdc0fa3 Signed-off-by: Nico Huber <nico.huber@secunet.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/17953 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Stefan Reinauer <stefan.reinauer@coreboot.org>

+Read ROM layout from Intel Firmware Descriptor.
+.sp
+flashrom supports ROM layouts given by an Intel Firmware Descriptor
+(IFD). The on-chip descriptor will be read and used to generate the
+layout. If you need to change the layout, you have to update the IFD
+only first.
