[flashrom] [PATCH 6/6] 4BA: Progress visualization for long read, writes and erases

From: Boris Baykov <dev at borisbaykov.com>

I've added progress visualization for read, erase and write operations.
It's turned out that seeing progress is essential for reading and
especially writing 32 MB of data via SPI. The operation can take more
then 10 minutes on 15 MHz frequency of SPI. So, it's good to see its
progress. I've added percents and slightly modified cli_output.c to
send percents to screen only but not to logfile.

Patched files
-------------
cli_output.c
+ print() patched to skip strings which are starting from '\b'
  to prevent writing progress percents to logfile

flash.h
+ added some definitions for progress visialization

flashrom.c
+ added progress visualization for erase/write (essensial for 32MB+ chips)

spi25.c
+ added progress visualization for read operation (essensial for 32MB+ chips)
