Applied, thanks. I've done a few changes:

    [Thomas:
      - add missing Config.in comment about the thread dependency
      - remove 'Requires PCIUtils libraries' from the Config.in help text,
        since flashrom now requires more than PCIUtils library, and we
        typically don't document such dependencies in Config.in help
        texts.]

Also, I did some followup commits to improve the Config.in help text,
and add a hash file.

Finally, the pciutils, libusb and libftdi dependencies could be made
optional, since they are only needed for some of the flashrom drivers.
However, the mechanism to select each flashrom drivers is a bit
annoying, and I'm not sure it's really worth the effort.

Thanks!

Thomas
