[LinuxBIOS] Dumping BIOS on ASUS boards

[Anton]

Could someone verify that dumping flash contents on following ASUS boards is possible?

1) ASUS A7V8X-X, VT8235, PMC_49FL002
2) ASUS A7V600, obviously the same, PMC_49FL002

flashrom should be 2581 or later revision.

Thanks.

You're probably talking about the board enable code i added?

My test system was a A7V400-MX, a rebadged A7V78X-SE.

It's no problem to dig out the bioses of the two boards listed above. I 
would like to see some pci subsystem ids though.

Ah, yeah. I'm not sure how the code in board_asus_a7v8x_mx()
    corresponds with ASUS_FLASH structure. There is completely different
    code.

00:11.0 Class 0601: 1106:3177
    	that for ISA bridge

This is from the AWDFLASH structure in the A7V400-MX bios and works 
quite well. Not sure i encountered ASUS_FLASH, didn't even look for it 
:)

Those are the main pci-ids, please use -v to see the other pair of ids.

I'll finally have some time again in a few minutes, i first have to 
spend some time on some other flash enables i promised over the past few 
weeks though. :)

Also, please detail what board you are using and also give me a pair of 
subsystem ids of your host bridge (0:00.0 or 0x1106:0x3205).

I'm left wondering why it is that you're asking about this, is this code 
not working for you or something?
