Hi Yann,
thanks for your report. I have looked at the log and the "FAILED" message is harmless. I will try to improve the wording a bit so users are not scared anymore.

Flashrom seems to not support Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4.
I've only tested read operation, which failed, so I did try the write operation.
Here are messages from flashrom:
flashrom v0.9.0-r643 Found chipset "AMD SB700", enabling flash write... OK. Found chip "SST unknown SST SPI chip" (0 KB, SPI) at physical address 0x100000000.
The verbose flashrom log you provided helped me track down the problem. Sometimes, the SB700 SPI controller only retrieves 2 bytes of flash chip ID instead of 3 bytes. Please keep the logs available so others can analyze them as well. Thanks.
I know someone who can reproduce the bug. Once the bug is fixed, I'll send you another mail.
Regards, Carl-Daniel
