We got a mail by a reporter who does not want to get his email address
published, therefore I will quote his email verbatim below.

> Hello,

> I updated the Raspberry Pi B+ with rpi-update to the latest firmware and

> Raspberry device itself. I just used the -p and -w parameters to make this

> I encountered zero errors during the use of flashrom, everything worked in

> Thank you so much!

I'll add the respective flag for the M25P10-A. Thanks Martijn for the
report! Please include a verbose log file next time.
