In linux kernel since version 3.10 (release Date: 2013-06-30)
This enables PCI support for the Intel PCH/PCU SPI controller in
master mode. This controller is present in modern Intel hardware
and is used to hold BIOS and other persistent settings. Using
this driver it is possible to upgrade BIOS directly from Linux.
Say N here unless you know what you are doing. Overwriting the
SPI flash may render the system unbootable.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called intel-spi-pci.
