I slipped a quick test in while the testers are doing some other tests. I think it's doing what you wanted to see. I've attached the debug data your looking for.

Above all we need to work on the support for the VIA chipset (VT8251), but IBM won't be able to help us with that. I have no news regarding that.
Hello again,
i have a patch for you to test. It tries to add support for the VT8251 by using the code for similar VIA chipsets. We are pretty confident that it will work although we could not verify it against a datasheet (yet). The Renesas chip might still be a problem, but we hopefully be able to take one step forward. Please apply the attached patch to the current subversion head and send us the output of
flashrom -V -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop
and if that finds a chip also the output of
flashrom -V -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop -r testfile.bin
Please don't try to write or erase yet!
