Perfect. We'd like to merge that patch before releasing flashrom 0.9.2.

Yes, indeed. It seems that your board has valid settings for SB700 SPI,
and still uses the IT8720 for SPI. I've never seen that before, and your
log shows that our decision to let the IT87* SPI override the chipset
SPI was a good idea.

Could you please send a reply with a Signed-off-by: line? The
coreboot/flashrom development guidelines have a short explanation:
http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure

It allows us to keep track of who contributed code and makes auditing
easier.

Thanks again!

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
