amdflash bugfixes

* to(DISK) inserts a clone: the disk buffer is the storage of the copied value

* setitem: only unwrap self-referential stores (__iadd__), not clone storage

* delete the on_disk half of disk_copy_is_buffer: copies to disk persist via clone at tensor time (to(DISK), shard of creation devices)

* specific

* fix to_elf signature slots: compact in globals order, not raw call-arg positions

kernels that touch a sparse subset of a call's buffers bake sparse call positions
(e.g. (0, 2)) into the ELF signature. dense calls hide it; a prior call consuming
unique slots exposes it. CL's binder indexes the compact bufs list by sig slot, so
bufs[2] overruns a 2-element list (IndexError in ops_cl on multi-test runs, e.g.
test_setitem_consecutive_inplace_operator after test_assign_add)

+# Navi31 flash tools
+
+Utilities for reading and recovering the 2 MiB SPI flash on Navi31 boards.
+Run them from the tinygrad repository root. No image is bundled; keep a verified
+full-ROM backup before performing any write.
+
+`fw_live.py` accesses BAR5 through tinygrad's `PCIDevice.map_bar()` abstraction
+and supports either the custom ASM24 USB-PCIe bridge or native PCIe. Select the
+transport before the subcommand:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py --transport usb probe
+python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py --transport pci probe
+```
+
+The default, `--transport auto`, considers USB devices first and then native
+PCI devices. Native PCI access requires the usual tinygrad PCI permissions and
+an unbound kernel driver.
+
+## Access paths and hardware state
+
+The paths are state-dependent and are not interchangeable:
+
+* **`romless.py`** drives SMUIO `ROM_SW_*` directly through the ASM24 bridge.
+  Use it only when an empty or corrupt flash has stalled the PSP PBL. Healthy
+  autonomous boot gates this engine; the usual gated status is
+  `ROM_SW_STATUS=0x04000800`.
+* **`fw_live.py probe`** queries the early PSP boot-firmware mailbox.
+* Firmware-mediated write commands are retained for protocol documentation but
+  are disabled because an exact stock reflash did not validate safely.
+* **`fw_live.py dump`** reads an exact 2 MiB raw image through
+  `ROM_INDEX/ROM_DATA`. It refuses devices where the raw SMUIO controller is
+  unavailable; the NBIO SOC15 function-ROM aperture is not a physical SPI
+  mapping and is deliberately not used as a fallback.
+
+The tools do not reset or power-cycle the board.
+
+## Raw ROM_SW recovery
+
+Identification and read-only operations:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py info
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py read 0 0x40
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py dump spi.bin
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py verify known-good.bin
+```
+
+Restore an exact 2 MiB image:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py flash known-good.bin --yes
+```
+
+If GD25 status-register bit `SR2.CMP` protects the complete array, clearing it
+requires separate authorization:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py flash known-good.bin --clear-cmp --yes
+```
+
+Programming is sector-granular. Every written 4 KiB sector is immediately read
+back and compared with the input. A range can be resumed independently:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/romless.py flash known-good.bin \
+  --start-sector 128 --sector-count 64 --yes
+```
+
+Navi31 ROM_SW details used by the implementation:
+
+* `ROM_SW_COMMAND = (address << 8) | opcode`
+* TX data uses big-endian stream dwords
+* `RETURN_DATA_EN` (bit 19) is clear for TX and set for RX
+* the RX window exposes the preceding transaction, so reads are primed once
+
+## Firmware-mediated access
+
+The read-only commands are:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py probe
+python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py dump current-spi.bin
+```
+
+`dump` produces exactly `0x200000` bytes, requires the raw IFWI magic at offset
+zero, rejects mirrored 1 MiB apertures, and restores the ROM controller/index
+state before writing output.
+
+The validated early-firmware sequence is available as:
+
+```sh
+python3 extra/amdflash/fw_live.py --transport usb ifwi-all full-ifwi.bin --yes
+```
+
+It resolves at most Navi31's configured 19 items, streams the item associated
+with terminal phase `0x2xx`, and then stops. PSP selects the destination
+partition; item `0x08` always comes from the payload referenced by the first
+ISH descriptor, matching AMDVBFlash. A hard power cycle is required afterward.
+
+A successful PSP update is not a byte-identical raw rewrite. On the validated
+stock test, both A/B payloads matched the source exactly, PSP selected and
+booted the updated B partition, and firmware changed only its update cookie,
+B descriptor counter/checksum, and generated metadata near `0x1ef000`.
+
+The `stream`, `ifwi-step`, and `live-flash` commands remain disabled. Testing
+showed that the PSP live path parses a raw stock IFWI but fails with status
+`0xC` (`PSP Write To SPI Error`) after writing an `$AMDVBFL` cookie. Use the
+verified ROM_SW path for recovery.
+
+## Safety
+
+ROM_SW erase/program and `ifwi-all` commands require `--yes`; other
+firmware-streaming commands are disabled. Read-only commands still touch controller and mailbox registers but
+do not issue SPI program/erase or PSP transfer-start commands. Preserve a
+known-good full dump outside the repository.
