Support for bk7238

[arikon]

Is it possible to use ltchiptool with bk7238 SoC?

I tried with no luck on macOS:

% ltchiptool flash read --device /dev/cu.wchusbserial110 bk7231n bk7238-entire-flash.bin
I: Connecting to 'Beken 7231N' on /dev/cu.wchusbserial110 @ 115200
I: Connect UART1 of the BK7231 to the USB-TTL adapter:

When I connect CEN to GND for short time, I receive these errors

% ltchiptool flash read --device /dev/cu.wchusbserial110 bk7231n bk7238-entire-flash.bin
