Comment:

 The LED does not flash, and it is not the only indicator.  I've added
 simple icons indicating a wait, but not for 30 seconds.

 The user would have to remove the power cord and battery to brick, as I
 understand the power button should be inhibited during EC SPI FLASH write.
 Paul, Richard, is that correct?  With XO-1 and XO-1.5, we inhibited the
 power button.

 (I don't know if power button is inhibited on OpenFirmware SPI FLASH write
 though, different issue.)
