[flashrom] Success report: GIGABYTE GA-8I945GZME-RH, and a small issue

Hi,

I reported about the GIGABYTE GA-8I945GZME-RH earlier in
http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-August/004531.html

Back then it was not working but started to work after an SPI patch.
I tried trunk again today on that board. All operations work fine.

There's only one issue, two chips are detected "SST SST25VF040.REMS"
and "SST SST25LF040A.RES". I selected both via -c and tested a write
operation, both worked. I attached both logs.

The chip that's actually soldered onto the board is "SST25LF040A" as
per its markings, though. Not sure if or how this can be fixed.

Anyway, I'll send a patch to mark board and chip as tested.


Uwe.

This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: READ ERASE WRITE
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to flashrom at flashrom.org if any of the above operations
work correctly for you with this flash part. Please include the flashrom
output with the additional -V option for all operations you tested (-V, -Vr,
-Vw, -VE), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.
Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help!
