[flashrom] IBM Aptiva, SiS 5595 - success (full)

[Bertho Grandpied]

Hi Stefan, hi List !

I'm glad to report full success (write modified image, erase, rewrite original) using flashrom w/ aforementionned system :
>>  IBM Aptiva 2170-G (actually an ACER V75-M motherboard) ... 
>>  SiS 5595 southbridge

Here's a verbose (pruned down) log for one write operation. In addition to flashrom's own verification, I did check the "live" contents of flash memory against the "dead" binary image for any discrepancy, finding none. 

Thanks again for the nice tool!
