The more I look at the code, the less I believe the two tools with 
completely different purposes should be in one file. If you look at 
flashrom and superiotool and their modular multi-file structure even 
though they have only one purpose, the merging of genfadt and gendsdt is 
really the wrong thing to do.

I hereby retract my signoff until we have discussed whether the merge 
makes sense for any reason besides disliking small utilities.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
