Hello Sanne,

thanks for your report. I am not aware of any unsolved problems with
any chip or programmer supported by the ft2232_spi driver in flashrom.
I would suspect a simple timing/sampling issue caused by the high speed
or too low signal quality. Normally that would produce way less
deterministic values though, so I am not entirely convinced.
However, since it works fine with 15 MHz and the programmer is already
marked as successfully tested, I'll leave everything as is. If you
become aware of any additional information please don't hesitate to
show it, thanks.
