To summarize:
Proprietary BIOS:
- Erasing the chip was tested, reading from the chip gives you all 0xFFs
after erase.
- Writing the chip after erase was tested, verify successful.
correct
Good.
LinuxBIOS:
- Erasing the chip fails, only a few bytes are changed (if any).
- Writing fails as well because erase failed.
correct
Did it ever work for you?
No :-(
Thanks for the dumps. I believe the Super I/O data sheet is incomplete and/or wrong, so please try this patch against superiotool and dump again under LB and proprietary.
Here we go:

Just a note to self:
Config.lb, idx 0x7
idx 0x28, set to 0 (GP46) idx 0xc0, set to 0 (SIO1 Alternate) idx 0xc8, set to 0 (SIO1 Input) idx 0xcb, set to 0 (SIO4 Input)
We have to figure out what differs between your proprietary BIOS and the proprietary BIOS I verified our settings against.
