Peter,
    I am stuck with the same error even after applying the new patch. 
Here's the command output:
{-------------------
stress:/tmp # ./flashrom -m "portwell:ppap-2020vl" -E          
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "VIA VT8237", enabling flash write... OK.
Found board "Portwell PPAP-2020VL", enabling flash write... OK.
Found chip "SST SST49LF004A/B" (512 KB) at physical address 0xfff80000.
Erasing flash chip... ERASE FAILED!
FAILED!

-------------------
stress:/tmp # ./flashrom -m "portwell:ppap-2020vl" -w backup.bin

Please guide me further.

Regards,
Vinod
