As subject. Verbose read and write output of flashrom is attached.

Hello Jeroen,
the :S suffixes above stand for "skipped" meaning that there were no erases or writes at all in that particular execution. That is expected when one tries to rewrite an image because flashrom recognizes that to be faster. Can you confirm that this is the case here and writing actually works?
Hi Stefan,
That's pretty probable; I wrote the EEPROM before trying it again and redirecting the output of flashrom to the file I attached. I can confirm programming works fine: I'm using the flashrom as a vehicle to move my custom firmware from my PC to an embedded device and it has been writing at least a few dozen different images without failing once.
Cheers, Jeroen

thanks! I have marked the flash chip as fully tested and will commit that later together with other small changes.
