Hello!

Do you have any idea why our flashrom v0.9.9 won't accept ft2232_spi as a 
programmer?

We want to use flashrom for our ft2232_spi devices and the website 
flashrom.org/Flashrom/0.9.9/Supported_Hardware claims that flashrom v0.9.9 
supports ft2232_spi.
However, for some reason it just won't accept ft2232_spi as a programmer:

- flashrom -p ft2232_spi
  flashrom v0.9.9-rc1-r1942 on Linux 4.15.0-45-generic (i686)
  flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

  Error: Unknown programmer "ft2232_spi". Valid choices are:
  internal, dummy, nic3com, nicrealtek, gfxnvidia, drkaiser, satasii, atavia,
  it8212, serprog, buspirate_spi, dediprog, rayer_spi, pony_spi, nicintel,
  nicintel_spi, nicintel_eeprom, ogp_spi, satamv, linux_spi, pickit2_spi,
  ch341a_spi.
  Please run "flashrom --help" for usage info.




Surprisingly, even the man page claims that ft2232_spi is supported:

- man flashrom
  ...
  -p, --programmer <name>[:parameter[,parameter[,parameter]]]
  Specify   the   programmer  device.  This  is  mandatory  for  all  
operations  involving  any  chip  access
  (probe/read/write/...). Currently supported are:
  ...
  * ft2232_spi (for SPI flash ROMs attached to an FT2232/FT4232H/FT232H  family 
 based  USB  SPI  programmer),
  including the DLP Design DLP-USB1232H, FTDI FT2232H Mini-Module, FTDI FT4232H 
Mini-Module, openbiosprog-spi,
  Amontec JTAGkey/JTAGkey-tiny/JTAGkey-2, Dangerous Prototypes Bus  Blaster,  
Olimex  ARM-USB-TINY/-H,  Olimex

We don't understand why our flashrom won't accept ft2232_spi or how to proceed.
And would appreciate any assistance, if you have the resources to assist or 
even just point us in the right direction here we can fix this ourselves.
