Sorry, your laptop is not supported, and unfortunately probably never will be. Most laptops have an embedded controller, it's what controls the screen brightness, lid actions, battery charging, etc, and most manufacturers of embedded controllers are very reluctant to give out the datasheets for them, especially for use in an open-source project, and almost definitely in a case where the particular chip is discontinued, because it means no profit from the exposure of the code.

You seem to be running flashrom on a laptop. Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned. ======================================================================== Aborting.
