Been a while, sorry...
Thanks for your report! I have investigated this issue by looking at
the original patch that added the board enable for the board with MSI
PCI IDs of 0x7094, a later patch that added the MS- model number and
various lspci logs online etc.

I think you are correct that the string printed on the MS-7094 is
wrong, but the code actually is the right one. This does also explain
why you found it to work as (un)expected.

I wonder about the second part of your statement though. Do you also
posses a MS-6702E/MSI K8T-Neo2-F/FIR? If so then I would like to see
flashrom and lspci -nnv logs of it. The "couldn't find a suitable erase
command" probably indicates a write protection similar to the MS-7094.
