I have modified flashrom_0.9.6.1 so that the layout file is used for reads, writes, and verifies, as well as ensuring that no other regions are touched during any operation, so that locked regions do not cause transaction errors. I would like to submit a patch, but do not know the procedure, or the preferred diff options for producing the patch. I do not plan to do any other development, so would prefer not having to learn a large procedure.
Thanks, Greg
