I'm a bit confused, because I use the Pm49fl002/4 regularly, mostly in
BIOS Savior RD-1's. I've never had any problems writing to those chips.
This patch also needs a "Signed-off-by:" line, and a couple other things
below.

'svn diff' does pretty much the same thing, but easier to apply.

We should probably do 'svn mv' to this file, instead of removing it,
then patch against it.

Please add yourself here. I can't tell who the original author was, so
just leave the Tyan email blank.

Why inlined?

just drop this. we don't like committing commented code ;)

I don't see any other return paths, any reason not to make this function
void?

IIRC, flashrom erases before writing. If that is the case, wouldn't this
be unnecessary?
