Hi,

Use case:
 flashrom is used to read SPI flash (MX25L6406) via Arduino Nano V3. 

Command: 
 /usr/local/bin/flashrom -p serprog:dev=/dev/cuaU0:57600 -c MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E -r tcw770.dump

It hangs after 5 seconds on read from tty ("ttyin"):
(gdb) bt
#0  _read () at _read.S:3
#1  0x00000008014ae736 in __thr_read (fd=3, buf=0x801c02bec, nbytes=20) at /builds/FreeBSD-src-head/lib/libthr/thread/thr_syscalls.c:402

#8  0x000000000040430a in main (argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffe670) at cli_classic.c:545
(gdb) kill

The problem is that ttydisc_rint ignore same bytes. It happens due to enable IEXTEN local flag of termios. As results Arduino reads 11264 bytes, but flashrom gets 11244 bytes (corrupted) and waits for remaining 20 bytes.

The fix is simple: turn off IEXTEN local flag.

Tested on Arduino Nano V3 + FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. 
Portlint looks fine.

Update: patch has been sent to upstream & accepted (flashrom team is moving from SVN to GIT and doesn't yet published last commits).

Could you please commit it to ports tree?

Thanks!
