The function avr_set_addr_mem(AVRMEM *mem, int opnum, unsigned char *cmd,
unsigned long addr) is meant to replace avr_set_addr(OPCODE *op, unsigned
char *cmd, unsigned long addr) in future.
avr_set_addr_mem() has more information about the context of the task in that
it knows the memory size, memory page size, whether or not the memory is a
flash memory (which gets words addressees supplied) and, crucially, knows
which SPI operation it is meant to compute the address bits for.
avr_set_addr_mem() first computes the interval of bit numbers that must be
supplied for the SPI command to stand a chance to work. The function only
sets those address bits that are needed. Once all avr_set_addr() function
calls have been replaced by avr_set_addr_mem(), the SPI commands that need an
address can afford to declare in avrdude.conf all 16 address bits in the
middle two bytes of the SPI command. This over-declaration will be corrected
during runtime by avr_set_addr_mem(). One consequence of this is that parts
can inherit smaller or larger memories from parents without the need to use
different SPI codes in avrdude.conf. Another consequence is that
avr_set_addr_mem() can, and does, tell the caller whether vital address bits
were not declared in the SPI opcode. During parsing of avrdude.conf this
might be utilised to generate a corresponding warning. This will uncover
problematic SPI codes in avrdude.conf that in the past went undetected.
