Comment(by hailfinger):
strace is unable to see any flashrom activity because flashrom does not use syscalls. (There are no syscalls for flashing.)
So if you think flashrom does nothing at all, it is still doing something, but no utility like strace can see it.
The Winbond chips are really problematic. If we try to program them according to their data sheets, they fail sometimes. Any insight is appreciated. No other chip vendor has these problems.
