[LinuxBIOS] Flashrom is not detecting 2MiB flash

[Alan Carvalho de Assis]

Hi LinuxBIOS' hackers,
I am trying to get a SST49LF160C (ID1=0xbf and ID2=0x4c) working on my MB
(chipset VIA8237), but I get a strange error.

If the flash_probe (probe_jedec) attempt to detect flash more than 512KB it
don't get the flash IDs.

Some time ago I see a Ron mail about MB can detect until 2MiB flash with no
problem, but I don't know why it is not working them.

I added these lines to flashchips.c:

{"SST49LF160C", SST_ID, SST_49LF160C,   NULL, 2048, 64 * 1024,
probe_jedec, erase_chip_jedec, write_jedec, NULL},

Someone know why my MB doesn't detect flash it this size is more than 512MB?

Look to flashrom output:

diderot:/home/alan/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom# ./flashrom -V
Calibrating delay loop... Setting up microsecond timing loop
781M loops per second
ok
No LinuxBIOS table found.
Enabling flash write on VT8235...OK
