Hello Christopher,

your log is missing the output sent to stderr (you can easily produce
logs with the -o option btw). It does not matter much though because I
know what is written there. It indicates that some regions of the flash
chip are not even readable by the host PC because the chipset does
simply prohibit any attempts to do so. flashrom can not deal with this
currently (like writing to the remaining regions only).
