Bug#909573: avrdude: Doesn't recognise ATtiny2313A

[Paul "LeoNerd" Evans]

Package: avrdude
Version: 6.3-4+b1
Severity: normal

The ATtiny2313A chip has the same programming details and signature as
the ATtiny2313, but is not recognised by avrdude:

  $ avrdude -p attiny2313a ...
  avrdude: AVR Part "attiny2313a" not found.

This can be easily remidied:

  part parent "t2313"
  id   = "t2313a";
  desc = "ATtiny2313A";
  ;

This may not seem important, but I find it very useful that `avrdude -p`
takes the same names for the chips as `avr-gcc -mmcu=`, and my Makefiles
are built on this idea. It has worked up until the ATtiny2313A (whose
libc header files I need to use as they contain some bugfixes and better
names for registers, on an otherwise-identical chip).

Likewise while I'm here, the ATtiny84A has an identical problem,
similarly fixed by

  part parent "t84"
  id   = "t84a";
  desc = "ATtiny84A";
  ;

There are likely to be many more "A" variants that should be aliased
like these.
