Message:

CONFIG_BITBANG_SPI was not selected if CONFIG_NICINTEL_SPI was on by
default.
Wiki output was missing all flash chips if CONFIG_INTERNAL was not
selected.
Use correct type for toupper()/tolower()/isspace() functions.
Specify software requirements in a generic way.
Non-x86 compilation does not work with the default programmer set, so
list the make parameters which result in a working build.
