So, you've verified that the image that flashrom reads matches what you can
download from the manufacturers website (extracted)?

Flashrom doesn't crash or anything here, and it might just *write* fine (not
tested yet), but reading gives the wrong data. We know, because we got the ID
for the chip back, that at least a couple of writes to the chip succeeded.

Thanks,
