while going through the bad board list, I noticed that some boards either have no public test reports, are classified incorrectly or have chipset instead of board problems. None of them should be listed.
Hm, why not? The list contains boards that are verified not to work with flashrom. Whether this is due to missing board-enable or to missing chipset-code or to missing datasheets is irrelevant for the user, flashrom will still not work regardless of the reason.
Maybe we also want a known-bad-chipsets list (for those without datasheets for example)?
Chipset problem, not board related: "ASUS" "M3N78 Pro"
See above.
In this case we don't have datasheets for NVIDIA flash translation IIRC, so yes, this affects all boards with that chipset using NVIDIA flash translation. It's not as easy as "all boards with MCP78 chipset" though (unfortunately).
Flashrom works with coreboot, fails only under factory BIOS: "MSI" "MS-7260 (K9N Neo)"
Yeah, this is debatable, and I should probably re-check latest flashrom here with BIOS and coreboot, maybe things changed.
No report: "FIC" "VA-502" "Soyo" "SY-5VD"
These two can stay, the info was taken from the wiki, and added to the wiki by me quite a while ago. I tested both boards myself using actual hardware.

"PCCHIPS" "M537DMA33"
This guy I'll have to check. Also added by me in http://www.coreboot.org/index.php?title=Flashrom&diff=next&oldid=730... but I can't remember if this is a board I owned or if I added the entry based on info from someone in IRC (or maybe I tested a board of some friend or so, dunno).
Feel free to drop this one for now, if I can verify where the report came from we can re-add it.
