iot2050-eio-manager: Detect controller flash chip automatically#650
Conversation
The EIO firmware updater was hardcoded to a specific flash chip model. This prevents it from working with hardware revisions that use a different chip, such as those found in some SIMATIC IOT2050 models. By removing the hardcoded chip name, we allow flashrom to use its auto-detection capabilities. This makes the firmware update process more robust and compatible with different hardware.
