Well, I just read the Chip identification in-system with my bus pirate:
SPI> [0x9f,r,r,r]
/CS ENABLED
WRITE: 0x9F
READ: 0xFF
READ: 0xC2
READ: 0x20
/CS DISABLED
Looks good so far and the board isn't fried ;)
It works while the board is in standby. I'm driving the pins directly
with 3,3V and GND. No open-drain or something.
I saw on the oscilloscope that, when using open-drain mode, the SCK line
floats. So, there doesn't seem to be an external pull-down/-up resistor
and the internal seems to be deactivated.
The only weird thing is that I need to read 3 Bytes and not 2 as stated
in the datasheet of the SPI flash, but I don't care about that right now.
Also flashrom doesn't work with the buspirate. I'll have to look into this.

No, the flashing is the first thing I'm doing with this board, sorry.
