Hi, here's a small patch which fixes minor issues in the flashrom docs:
* Made the README, manpage, and ./flashrom -h output the same things * Added some missing options to the "usage:" one-liner * Aligned spaces in ./flashrom -h output * Added explicit license to the manpage (GPL).

If no file is specified, then all that happens
is that flash info is dumped and the flash chip is set to writable.
