Is this safe/sane on vt8235/vt8233/vt8231? And I thought ruik had already
posted/committed a patch to do this, but I can't see if now.

flashrom patch to enable ROM decode range to 1MB for vt8237r

[bari]

His patch was for a mainboard and not for flashrom.

It is safe for the earlier SB's since they use the register the same 
way. If you are trying to move from a 256K or 512K flash device to a 1MB 
flash, flashrom will not work without this patch if the factory BIOS has 
not opened the decode range to 1MB.
