Thanks for the clarification :)

The Supported_hardware page is a bit confusing. In its current state,
it reads (to me, at least) as a page intended to show which hardware
can be flashed *by* Flashrom. It doesn't give the appearance of being
about which *programmers* are supported by Flashrom :)

Even though there is a little section on "Other programmers" at the
bottom of the Supported_hardware page, this in itself is confusing.
For instance, the Bus Pirate is listed under that heading, even though
it is a USB device and there is a heading "USB Devices"...

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the planned improvements, in the future :)
