[flashrom] Packard Bell MCP73PV (Nvidia MCP73) / Winbond W25x80

[Mattias Mattsson]

Hi,

I have tested flashrom r1129 on a Packard Bell imedia S3720 computer
with a MCP73PV mainboard and Winbond W25x80 flash. Probe and read
works.

Logs attached.

Interesting is that Packard Bell makes two different BIOS versions
available on their site. One of them is said to be designed
specifically for Linux with these notes on the download page:

"BIOS for Linux
1. Changes copyright from 2009 to 2010.
2. Removes OA2.1 for linux.
3. Changes Onboard SATA Mode default from 'AHCI' to 'Native IDE'."

Download links for latest BIOS version:

P01.A3L ("Linux" version)

P01.A3

Thanks!
