[flashrom] Google Coral ChromeBook issue

[Bank Wu]

Hi There,

I have an issue that cannot disable write protection mode on a dell chomebook which FW  is Google_Coral_10068.63.0.
Both BIOS and EC flash ROM were reprogrammed with brand new chips before we installed the RMA shim R69.

1.      flashrom -p host -wp-disable      (AC only, Battery is disconnected)

coreboot table found at 0x7ab36000.

FAILED

3.      flashrom -p host -w  bios.bin

Calibrating delay loop... OK.

Erasing and writing flash chip... Good. It seems nothing was changed.
