It would be interesting to see the output from verification.

The problem is quite likely that a GPIO pin of some chip is connected
to the two write protect pins on the flash chip.

You can run flashrom -V to show their status of them. Please send
that output also. (Or combine and run flashrom -V -v so we can get
the verify output in one go.)

Any flashrom failure is interesting! Thanks for the report.
