[LinuxBIOS] Flashrom can't detect SST 39SF020A on Gigabyte 7VT880-RZ

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!
I've got Gigabyte 7VT880-RZ mainboard. After quick look at the suface
of it I found that it uses SST 39SF020A flash chip. Unfortunately
flashrom won't even read data from flash. Full log here:

I have no clue what should I do next. Please give an advice.

The ID should be 0xbf (manuf)/ 0xb6 (device), but nothing like that
appears in the logs. I just verified with the data sheet that the
probing sequence is correct.

Since what you got was not what you expected, I believe the board needs
an additional enable sequence.
