Hello Bertho and thanks for your report.
Read tests are mostly pointless in general, even more without a log. If
it is not too much of a hassle please send us the output of flashrom -p
internal -V (which only probes for the flash chip). I do fully
understand your refusal to test writing (but I am not so sure about its
probability of success. Many boards needs a bit of extra effort to
disable write protections).
