* serprog: Add support for setting the SPI frequencyStefan Tauner2012-08-131-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new opcode (0x14) that sends the requested frequency as a 32b long value in Hertz to the programmer and receives the frequency eventually chosen by the programmer. The user can specify this with the programmer parameter "spispeed" (named after the similar parameter for the buspirate) including an optional suffix of 'M' or 'k' for specifying megahertz or kilohertz respectively (lowercase suffixes are also accepted). Thanks to Idwer and Uwe (and maybe others) for their feedback especially regarding the unit of frequency to use. Corresponding to flashrom svn r1571.
