Hi,

swseq does not support the two-chip configuration (which is a hardware
limitation). In hwseq mode the software is not aware of any chips, hence
using the -c parameter leads to no detection. Leave out the -c
parameter and it will work... in general. Interestingly the flash
descriptor seems to be bogus in this case though. It specifies a wrong
density for the second chip, although the other addresses encoded in
there are according to your observation of two 8MB chips... either the
chipset is different or this is an error of the manu... oh, you ARE the
manufacturer ;)

Please check if the setting of FLCOMP in the flash descriptor is
according to the lynx point spi programming guide. I dont have access
to it. Either FLCOMP is set wrong or lynx point is different and this is
a bug in flashrom.
