meru fw_util: config file changes

[arajeev-ARISTA]

Summary of Changes

1. Use –noverify-all option with flashrom write.
   This would skip verification of regions not included in the layout file to improve performance.

2. Leading zeros in the FW version numbers read through sysfs can cause them to be interpreted as octal numbers by shell. This change removes leading 0’s from the version numbers except when there is a ‘0x’ prefix. The sed commands to search and replace are written in a way that the leading 0’s are replaced only if the version number starts with a 0 followed by another digit.

3. Remove spidev binding since it is no longer necessary as the spi driver already binds to spidev as specified by platform_manager
