Update: Spare XM25QH128A chips just arrived from China. Successfully flashed a chip with Bus Pirate SPI and patched flashrom. Writing works fine. Laptop boots normally.
Hey again.
I was advised there was a typo in my chip list.
Here: #define XMC_XM25QH128A 0x1708 Should be: #define XMC_XM25QH128A 0x7018
Anyhow, I have downloaded flashrom master, patched it with this data and recompiled it. I'm reporting that the probing and reading appears to be working for XM25QH128A. BIOS is now dumped. I'll test writing/erasing once I get the spare chips.
*On a side note:* Be sure to connect all chip pins to their respective terminals. For example, I originally believed this XMC chip was unsupported because it failed to probe/read while the Winbond one worked fine with the same setup. I left the /WP and /HOLD pins unconnected in my setup, but after connecting them both to Vcc via a 4k7 resistor the reading worked perfectly.
See yas!
