[flashrom] flashrom status for GA-MA790X-UD4

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi Yann,

thanks for your report. I have looked at the log and the "FAILED"
message is harmless. I will try to improve the wording a bit so users
are not scared anymore.

The verbose flashrom log you provided helped me track down the problem.
Sometimes, the SB700 SPI controller only retrieves 2 bytes of flash chip
ID instead of 3 bytes.
Please keep the logs available so others can analyze them as well. Thanks.

I know someone who can reproduce the bug. Once the bug is fixed, I'll
send you another mail.


Regards,
Carl-Daniel
