Hello,

the write log ends with "0x14f000-0x14ffff:E". Does flashrom abort at
that point or was that a mistake on your side?

I cannot remember or reproduce exactly since it was 2 weeks ago and I detached chip from raspberry piand also chip is not stock, it is detached from commercial router product (router rom)
As far as I rememberWhile writing,  flashrom fall into infinite loop in some memory region and I manually abort with ctrl+c.
So I tried writing using force option, it works well

I attached force_write_log file to this email

Hello,

thanks for the clarification. An endless loop is quite unlikely but
there might be a bug in the raspberry pi kernel that makes flashrom
hang, but this is the first time someone observed that AFAIK. Also, the
force switch can not possibly be the reason for a change in behavior
you described above.

Anyway, I have marked the flash chip as fully tested and will commit
that later together with other small changes. Thanks a lot for your
report.
