Hi Maurizio,

thank you for your report. I will add your chip to the supported list.

The log of your flashrom version had thousands of lines like this:
Invalid OPCODE 0x06
 due to SPI master limitation, ignoring and hoping it will be run as PREOP

I have removed them from your log to make the mail smaller.

It would be great if you could test erase and write with the latest
flashrom from svn as well. The invalid opcode messages should have
disappeared.

Oh, that is interesting. So you do already have some code, but it is not
working yet? Could you please send that code to the coreboot mailing
list <coreboot at coreboot.org> so other developers can have a look. Maybe
someone has good docs for that platform.
