[flashrom] Intel 28F001BN/BX-T erase/write operation verified on 3C905B-TXNM

[Lu Xie]

Hi,

I performed another erase and 5 write operations on that chip with the same
network adapter. Hopefully it has some useful data here.
I flashed the chip with different BIOS's and they work on their desired
boards.
