[flashrom] FAILED: Soraka DVT1

[David Hendricks]

Hello Hongxia,
Were you able to get in touch with someone on the chromiumos team?

It appears that you attempted to write the entire firmware ROM, but it
failed to write the flash descriptor region. You should target the
region(s) you want updated using the -i option, along with --fast-verify,
so that flashrom does not attempt to write and verify regions that it might
not have access to.
