[flashrom] Test results for flashrom on Winfast MCP61SM2MA-ERS2H

[Paul Brookman]

Many thanks for your reply.
I have updated to the latest flashrom version and tried again to erase the 
Winbond flash chip. Log attached.

There is no urgency about finding a fix for the MCP61 board - it looks as 
though your colleagues are working on that anyway.

I'm not sure what I should upload to the paste link. By "flash chip 
contents", do you mean the bios file or the log of flashrom results?

Thanks for your help.
