* flashchips,writeprotect_ranges: add range decoding functionNikolai Artemiev2022-03-011-0/+92
Allow chips to specify functions that map status register bits to protection ranges. These are used to enumerate available ranges and determine the protection state of chips. The patch also adds a range decoding function for the example chips. Many other chips can also be handled by it, though some will require different functions (e.g. MX25L6406 and related chips). Another approach that has been tried in cros flashrom is maintaining tables of range data, but it quickly becomes error prone and hard to validate. Using a function to interpret the ranges allows compact encoding with most chips and is flexible enough to allow chips with less predictable ranges to be handled as well.
