this merges the fix from:
https://codeberg.org/libreboot/pico-serprog/pulls/1
however, PRs are not to be sent there. riku merged it in
his repository, and i pulled it in the mirror hosted
on libreboot codeberg

Riku introduced three new patches:
* Add support for multiple chip selects. This allows you to
control multiple chips from the same clip, on systems with
dual flash setups, at least theoretically.
* Enable pull-up on unused chip selects - pull them high so
that chips you connect that to are deactivated while flashing
the target chip. This could be used on thinkpad W541 for
instance, where miso/mosi have 0ohm between them via the two
flash ICs. You could pull the other chip select high.
* Documentation for the above, in the pico-serprog readme.
This goes in tandem with a patch from Riku, present in the
recently integrated flashprog project, namely:
commit ddb6d926783d4f9cbee04c7392718ed8f89daa0e

serprog: Add support for multiple SPI chip selects
This functionality will therefore be present in the next
release of Libreboot.

cbmk 9429287 is the present canoeboot revision, on this day,
two commits after canoeboot 20231107
the cbmk revision was based on lbmk c4d90087, but lbmk
has developed a lot since, right up to f5b04fa5. lbmk
c4d90087 was four commits after libreboot 20231106
this patch brings cbmk up to date, versus lbmk f5b04fa5,
which is 135 commits after libreboot 20231106 (not 4)
therefore, the next canoeboot release shall import lbmk
changes made *after* lbmk revision f5b04fa5. good day!
In English (the above is for my reference, next time
I make a new canoeboot release):
This imports all of the numerous improvements from
Libreboot, sans the non-FSDG-compliant changes. You
can find a full list of such changes in the audit4 page:
https://libreboot.org/news/audit4.html
A full canoeboot-ised changelog will be available in
the next canoeboot release, with these and subsequent
changes. Most notable here is the update to the new
GRUB 2.12 release (instead of 2.12-rc1), and the
improvements Riku made to pico-serprog. And the build
system improvements from lbmk, such as improved, more
generic cmake and autoconf handling.
Canoeboot-specific changes: I also tweaked the deblob
logic, to make it less error-prone. The new design
changes imported into cbmk (based on latest lbmk) somewhat
broke the deblob logic; it was constantly reminding the
user that blobs.list was missing for coreboot,
at config/coreboot/blobs.list - coreboot is a multi-tree
project in both cbmk and lbmk, and the deblob logic was
tuned for single/multi, but was treating coreboot as both.
for simplicity, i removed the check for whether blobs.list
is present. this means that the operator must ensure that
these files are present, in any given revision, where they
are required on a given set of projects (and the files are
all present, in this update to cbmk)
Also of note: the grub.cfg improvements are included in this
cbmk update. The improved grub.cfg can find grub/syslinux
configs by default, not just grub anymore, also finds extlinux,
and will also find them on EFI System Partition - in addition,
UEFI-based install media is also more robust; although cbmk
doesn't provide UEFI configurations on x86, our GRUB palyoad
does still need to work with distro install media, and many
of them now use UEFI-based GRUB configurations in their
installation media, which just happen to work with our GRUB
