Finding a 1.8V flash chip on such a mainboard is very strange. Can you
check the flash chip installed on your mainboard, to see if it actually is
that chip?

I would also try flashrom from git, to see if it works. Looks like your
distro's flashrom does not report the version.

Best regards,

Hello.From my side, I tried to flash my Asrock AB350 Pro 4 mainboard with that same chip  -Winbond W25Q128.W- with Flashrom v1.1 build from source on a Rasberry PI 3B. It found the chip via the motherboard's SPI header pins succesfully. I could read it's into a bin file, but when I tried to erase/write it whit a new bios version (to update my bios for Ryzen 7 2700) it can't, cause the write protection. After this trying, I desoldered the chip from the board, and "installed" onto a breadboard with pull up resistorsfor /WP and /Hold and a 820 Ohm serie resistor with VCC and I connected a 0.22 uF capacitor beatwen the VCC and GND nearest to the chip. When I tried this setup, the Flashrom can read recognize the chip and read it's memory of course and when I tried to flas it with a new bios file from asrcok.com, It seems It can write into the chip...Flashrom had begun the Erase/write step, my Raspberry's CPU had a 25-32% system load...I thought it will be successful, but this writing erasing process has never end. I left my Pi system to working on it for hours, but never and. spispeed=2000. So now i ordered a CH341A programmer with 1.8 V SOIC8 adapter and I will trying with that.

Hello!

This part (W25Q128) is from Asus Prime X370-A after unsuccessfull 
attempt BIOS update.

P5B-SE is my platform for testing any components and Flash BIOS repair, 
board have 8 pin DIP socket for Flash chip. It is very useful for 
experiments. System wil start with original flash BIOS, after booting 
system in to user interface  I changed original flash chip to chip, 
which need to repair. W25Q128 (SOP8 package) need DIP8 adapter for 
install to DIP socket.
