This patch adds support for the SST25WF080 1 Mbyte SPI flash chip. It has been very minimally tested (basically one each read/write/verify), on Windows XP with a USB Blaster as the programmer. It worked, although it was horribly slow (at least 15 minutes to program 1 MB) - but I have not otherwise used this hardware/software combination to program anything, so that might be normal.

Hello Jason,
thanks for the patch. It looks good apart from the .tested field which should be set to TEST_OK_PREW and I'd like to commit it. For that we need a proper declaration of authorship though. Please see http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure
Performance was always an issue with the Bus Pirate (especially with SST chips that required 1-byte writes), but I thought the FT2232-based programmers to be faster. If flashrom didn't complain about failing erases or something similar it is probably normal.
