New dependency needed: "cmocka"

Thanks, @belzebub40k! Fixed accordingly.

When trying to build the package it prints the following error message.

$ makepkg -si
==> Making package: flashrom-git v1.2.r564.gdda19339-1 (Mo 04 Apr 2022 18:02:49 CEST)

This can easily be fixed by changing the source url from git:// to git+https://

The PKGBUILD still works, but does not build/install the shared library which is needed to use fwupd flashrom plugin. The regular Arch package is using meson now, which will just do the right thing (I suspect the regular Makefile might be unmaintained). I used this for build/package:

build() {
        cd "${srcdir}/${_gitname}"
        arch-meson ../build
        ninja -v -C ../build
}

package() {
        cd "${srcdir}"
        DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" ninja -C build install
}

Of course meson should then be added to build_deps also.

Patch removed, since it was applied upstream.

Patch I suggested before @encounter no longer applies cleanly and isn't required. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, I noticed that patch had landed upstream, but the PKGBUILD was using the staging branch. I updated the branch to master, and submitted another patch for libusb upstream (included in PKGBUILD for now).
