David, this patch should now apply cleanly against the vanilla flashrom
tree. Could you please make a single run of latest svn with this patch
on top with the following command:
flashrom -V

The EC should be detected, but it should _not_ be activated. Automatic
activation will happen once http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/2737/
(or an equivalent patch) is merged so we can handle whitelisted laptops
safely.


Regards,
Carl-Daniel
