Stefan,

I forgot to mention that this build I am making will be distributed in a 
commercial product. Will this patch fulfill my company's GPL obligations?

Thanks,
Greg

I see. You should have talked to me before starting. I have up to date patches 
too, see https://github.com/stefanct/flashrom/tree/layout

Ideally you would apply my patches to the current flashrom (0.9.6.1 is quite 
old) and send the difference between that and your changes on top of it. If 
there are bits that I think are useful I can integrate them to my patches or 
apply yours on top of them... 

If updating to the latest source before applying the changes or separating your 
changes from mine is too much work for you then just sending the differences 
between your current state and 0.9.6.1 is ok too. I'll figure something out :)

Yes. You create the patch file, add it inline (or as attachment), add the 
signed-off-by line and send it to the mailing list. Patchwork extracts any 
patches sent here automatically and makes them available at 
http://patchwork.coreboot.org/project/flashrom/list/
