There should not be a situation where the user has to know that she can only write the flash after she set all the bits to 1 by erasing it.This stands in contrast with the layout and (current) -s/-e options.
Not at all.
If I tell flashrom to only write to a six-byte area in the chip - I sure do not want the eraseblock to be erased.
If necessary for those 6 byte to write, yes, that is exactly what you want.
That's hardware knowledge that the tool must have, not the user.I disagree. This is a major characteristic of flash technology and I don't think we should be hiding it.Look at the GALEP software for comparison.
Yes, everyone knows the galep software is crap for exactly stuff like that. The new version does not allow autoerase anymore.
