Hmmm, I didn't (because it was so slow), but I can do if you think
there were issues.

I only had a quick look through the image but it looked to be what I
was expecting.
I'll dump the image using some other software/hardware and make sure
that matches too.

Unfortunately I think I've only got the buspirate as
flashrom-supported hardware. I can't guarantee any FTDI chips I have
are legit (ebay...)

Thanks,
Steven
