there is no such flash chip known to us (or google, except for other
pastes of similar release notes :)
anyway i guess the flash chip is behind the ENE controller (you can
verify that by searching for a schematic of that mainboard) and you
need support for that which does not exist and wont exist in the near
future, sorry.

that log made a minor cosmetic bug visible (see below) which i fixed
locally already, thanks!

those PR outpus shouldnt be printed if the board is not in descriptor
mode.
