[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/flashrom: fix build on big-endian targets

[Florian Larysch <fl@n621.de>]

flashrom 1.7.0 fails to build on big-endian targets because of an errant
compile guard. Import the pending upstream patch that fixes it.

Fixes: https://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/d75/d75f5a555b7ad1a99ffe46298bf6f527f3bafbc9

+Subject: [PATCH] libflashrom: fix build on big-endian targets
+
+Commit f74f02e2 ("Add guard for compare_region_with_dump()") added
+little-endian-only compile guards to that function because it was only
+used on little-endian systems and caused -Wunused-function to trip on
+other targets.
+
+When b0b975d0 ("libflashrom: Add new layout_compare() function with
+test") introduced flashrom_layout_compare(), it included the new
+function within those guards too, but this isn't necessary:
+compare_region_with_dump() is not sensitive to endianess and adding that
+new dependent actually made the original reason for adding the guard
+obsolete.
+
+However, now building on big-endian architectures fails because
+cli_classic.c unconditionally refers to flashrom_layout_compare().
+
+Resolve this by simply removing the guard.
+
+Fixes: https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/635
