[flashrom] New SPI NOR Flash product Support

Thanks, Hatim,

I will check with our factory to understand why the GD25Q128C was not sent
to you. Did they replace it with the GD25Q127C?

Regards,

Victor

Hello Victor,

I am doing fine, thanks :) The following chips have been tested successfully
- GD25D05B/10B, GD25LQ10B/20B/40B/80B, GD25Q21B/41B and GD25VQ41B (reported
by David Hendrix). Test logs for the first 8 of these chips can be found
here - https://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2016-March/014537.html.
The patches for all these chips and additionally GD25Q80C/16C have been sent
and are waiting for further review. I have ordered some IC clips, so I will
test the remaining chips as soon as those arrive. Unfortunately, one of the
chips you explicitly requested support for, GD25Q128C was not included in
the samples so was not tested. But support for it has already been added ;)
Apologies for the late reply. :)
