Import Microsemi changes for Softconsole v6.0

[ThyMYthOS]

Those changes were sent to me as a reply to a support ticket requesting
the changes according to GPL.

I know that some cleanup is required to actually merge this into upstream, but as a reference you can see here what I got from Microsemi.

Hi @ThyMYthOS, thank you for the patches.

There are a lot of changes, I don't know how many of them can be merged upstream.

I also don't know how many of them should be merged here, if any.

We'll keep this as a reference.

FYI, please note that this repo was migrated to https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/ and will be deprecated soon.

Hi @ilg-ul, thanks for your comments.
As soon as find time I will try to cleanup the changes so that they integrate nicely with the rest of the code.
The main change is a new interface called "microsemi-flashpro" that connects via USB to the Microsemi development boards.

Perhaps you can split the changes into smaller individual patches and submit them upstream.
