[coreboot] flashrom issues found??

[joe at smittys.pointclark.net]

Ok,
I think I know what is going on here after looking at the uniflash  
source code. I found this comment in the Intel programming code "Do  
not program FF, erase will result in all FF's so it's not necessary.  
Besides, 2*FF means reset ..."

So, I removed this function from jedec.c and rebuilt flashrom.

// dumb check if erase was successful.
for (i = 0; i < total_size; i++) {
	if (bios[i] != (uint8_t) 0xff) {
		printf("ERASE FAILED @%d, val %02x!\n", i, bios[i]);
		return -1;
	}
}

It seems to work fine now. Is this a bug for Intel ICH series???

Thanks - Joe
