[flashrom] Tyan flash S2915 fails under linux - chip detection problem....?

[Phil]

Hi,

As requested using svn version of flashrom (r885) , after cold boot 
(unplugged power cable to reset buggy 3ware 9550SE). This is a machine 
running opensuse 11.2 (2.6.31.8-0.1-pae i686), with 2 AMD opeteron 2214 
HE processors and 4GB (4 x1GB ) of 667 memory. Attached are the output 
of flashrom -V -c  SST49LF080A , superiotool -deV and lspci -nnvvxxx.

Since the forced read does not produce junk, perhaps there is some 
initialisation error/unknown thing.

Cheers

PHiL
