#define ID is well tested but I'm not adamant in any way. You're
basically asking for less information in source and more at run
time. I like more info at run time but I still think it would be
nice to have IDs in the code.

I was also thinking that it would/should be simple to tell flashrom
about these flash chip parameters at run time so as to not need a
rebuild with as-yet unsupported flash.

Also, I'll patch away the vendor check for -m so that it would be
sufficient to say -m m57sli as long as no two vendors have boards
with identical names. (but -m vend:prod will still always work)
