Description

The changes to make the flash algo call sequence match the specification had a side effect of reducing flash programming performance by about 5 kB/s. This needs to be fixed by using a target-resident call sequencer.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the flash algorithm call-sequence implementation and comparing it with the specification, then measure the reported programming-speed regression. The work is complete when a target-resident call sequencer restores performance without breaking the specified sequence.
