[flashrom] MX25L6445E erase and write failed!

[Urja Rannikko]

Hi,

Just "forwarding" (really replying) this to the mailing list so others
can see too.
I see no serprog errors this time, so now it starts to feel like maybe
some kind of flashrom problem (4k erase doesnt work after that addr?
why?), but not sure.
I'll take a look at the definitions and datasheet etc later, now at work.
