Hello Pontus,
thanks for your report!
The problem is the locked ME region as quoted above and mentioned by david before. We are working on unlocking it, but intel does not provide us any documentation so please do not expect a real solution soon. The workaround used in chromiumos' version of flashrom is to not touch the locked region at all. But since it contains another hunk of the firmware it might brick a board when one updates the bios, but not the ME region. We do not know if this might really be the case, but i would not want to try it without a safety net.
I have added the board (MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E)) to our list of (un)supported boards (with an appropriate note) and will commit that later together with other small changes.
