[flashrom] Issues recognizing Macronics 25L3205D using UM232H-B-WE

[Jay Khan]

Thanks Idwer for your quick response. 

I changed the HOLD and WP to VCC still no luck; I am attaching the output with -V option; but it now does seem to detect the ID1 and ID2:

Probing for Macronix MX25L3205D/MX25L3208D, 4096 kB: probe_spi_rdid_generic: id1 0x7f7f, id2 0x7f

Still gives the error as before:

Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on ft2232_spi.
Probing for Generic unknown SPI chip (REMS), 0 kB: probe_spi_rems: id1 0x7f, id2 0x7f
Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI).

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,
-VE, -Vw), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested.
Please mention your board in the subject line. Thanks for your help!
