[coreboot] [PATCH] superiotool: libsuperiodetect

2010-06-30 Thread Carl-Daniel Hailfinger
Using the superiotool code to detect SuperI/O chips can be really useful even for applications besides superiotool, e.g. flashrom. The biggest hurdle right now is the excessive size of the superiotool binary (>2.2 MB) which is still ~15 kB after lzma compression. That's simply unacceptable for a li
