Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the flashprog v1.2 release.  This one should
be particularly interesting for developers:  We have finally added
the first bits for multi-i/o fast reads and QPI support. QPI works
well with a new driver for programmers based on the FT4222H. Dual-
and quad-i/o reads are also implemented for the Dediprog SF600 and
its successors.

Of the latter, the SF600Plus-G2 is fully tested.  Other versions,
using the same protocol, should work as well. Dual-i/o is enabled
by default for these. With all four i/o lines connected, quad-i/o
reads can be enabled with

  $ flashprog -p dediprog:iomode=quad

(don't forget to also set the `spispeed` to go even faster)

SF600 models that use older protocol versions should work as well
but are untested. For those, `iomode=dual` is necessary for dual-
i/o. Test reports are most welcome!

See also the full release notes at [1]. The code is available in
Git[2] (tag `v1.2') and as tarball[3].

After the release is before the release, and we are currently loo-
king for testers of new chipset support: On the Intel side we have
patches prepared for Snow Ridge, Meteor Lake, and Emmitsburg (PCH)
(newer Xeon-SP systems) [4].

For AMD, everything up to and including Zen 4 is supported as long
as the chipset is not too locked down.  More testing here would be
welcome, though, so we know what configurations vendors ship.

Happy flashing,
Nico
