Hello Stefan,

You are correct the attached output was performed with the A17 -> A17 
write, so the flashrom skipped that write.
I have missed the creating of the verbose log at the original A14-A17 
update, and did not wanted to spend time with finding the different 
(older) BIOS contents.

Regerds,
Miklos Marton
