Re: [flashrom] Flashrom Update Failure

[Will Choe]

Resolved it by copy & modifying:

else if (force && chip_to_probe)
    	{
struct registered_programmer *pgm;
    		int compatible_programmers = 0;
    		msg_cinfo("Force read (-f -r -c) requested, pretending the chip is there:\n");
    		/* This loop just counts compatible controllers. */
    		for (j = 0; j < registered_programmer_count; j++) {
    			pgm = &registered_programmers[j];
    			/* chip is still set from the chip_to_probe earlier in this function. */
    			if (pgm->buses_supported & chip->bustype)
    				compatible_programmers++;
    		}
    		if (!compatible_programmers) {
    			msg_cinfo("No compatible controller found for the requested flash chip.\n");
    			ret = 1;
    			goto out_shutdown;
    		}
    		if (compatible_programmers > 1)
    			msg_cinfo("More than one compatible controller found for the requested flash "
    				  "chip, using the first one.\n");
    		for (j = 0; j < registered_programmer_count; j++) {
    			pgm = &registered_programmers[j];
    			startchip = probe_flash(pgm, 0, &flashes[0], 1);
    			if (startchip != -1)
    				break;
    		}
    		msg_cinfo("Please note that forced writes most likely contain garbage.\n");
    	}
    	if (startchip == -1) {
    	ret = 1;
    	goto out_shutdown;
    	}

to the  cli_classic.c

I think it's better to have 'force & force' option to do the writing.
