    I understand that would be a comprehensive fix across flashrom. However that will still not guarantee that another flashrom like program will wait on the same file/mutex to synchronize the access.

    This check on H_SCIP OTOH, which should be adhered by all the programs at the least prevents the program from cancelling out another's transaction. So let us make flashrom compliant with the recommendation.
