I'm not entirely convinced that's necessary from a technical safety point of view, since I'm unaware of circumstances under which Flashrom will not read a chip, but will still write to it. However, I've added something in an attempt to exit out if the status is non-zero.
I am not sure about chromiumos' version of flashrom, but I guess it will behave similar to vanilla flashrom: if it can't read the flash completely, it won't succeed in writing either (apart from file access problems for example).
I'm unsure as to why this user is contacting you when this is my script.
I presume because the flashrom output told him so. That's the reason why I have created the patch to change the support mail address printed by flashrom. I have sent a copy of the patch submission mail to you too BTW.
