[flashrom] Invalid OPCODE 0x9f

[Vasiliy Vylegzhanin]

And I failed. There are some (modified?) phoenix flash tools, but they
refuse to flash the same BIOS version.
I've added W25x64 REMS ID and tried to flash it. Somehow flashrom managed
to erase whole chip and yes, it failed to write @0x00580000.
Is there any way to write write-protected regions on W25X64? I really don't
want to desolder it, and I can't reboot cause BB is erased.
Write log attached.
