Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI).

This flash part has status NOT WORKING for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE

The chip is  mx25L6406EZNI-12gf   which I assume

would use  

Macronix      MX25L6406E/            PREW           8192  SPI


The command that gets the generic message is

sudo flashrom -r oldefi1.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

I put exactly what is listed as type and says unknown

pi@pi0w:~ $ sudo flashrom -L | grep MX25L6406E/
