<tt>Hello all,<br>
<br>
I am using the flashrom with an external programmer to flash
various SPI flashes a lot.<br>
In most cases I do not care about the old flash contents when
flashing, so the "</tt><tt><i><tt>Reading old flash chip contents</tt></i>"
step does not have any added value in my use cases. The code also
has a FIXME note where this is hardcoded to make it configurable
in the future. I would like to patch it if possible. <br>
<br>
Please propose me command line arguments for disabling it. My
proposal:<br>
<i>-N | --nobackup skip reading back old flash contents before
write</i><br>
<br>
I know -N could be confused with -n but the same applies to the -v
(verify) and -V (verbose).<br>
I also could live without the short argument, but that would break
the "standard".<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your feedback!<br>
