One issue might be that most SCx2xx-platforms probably wire up the flash CE
and WE differently, and they need to be enabled before any writing to the
flash will work.  Register hunt, anyone?

OTOH, if you're working on flashing LinuxBIOS on a platform you might
already have access to the neccessary documentation, it's needed for
tweaking the configuration as well.
