Harald Gutmann bb9c1aa54e Here is just a little and simple patch to get the MX25L3205D working.
I've tested and verified the chip myself, and it seems to work
everything like supposted, since Carl-Daniel has patched flashrom to
use the read funktion on verifying. 

"benchvice flashrom # ./flashrom -m gigabyte:m57sli -v test.4mb
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No coreboot table found.
Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP55", enabling flash write... OK.
Found board "GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4": enabling flash write... 
Serial flash segment 0xfffe0000-0xffffffff enabled
Serial flash segment 0x000e0000-0x000fffff enabled
Serial flash segment 0xffee0000-0xffefffff disabled
Serial flash segment 0xfff80000-0xfffeffff enabled
LPC write to serial flash enabled
serial flash pin 29
OK.
MX25L3205 found at physical address 0xffc00000.
Flash part is MX25L3205 (4096 KB).
Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks.
Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

Coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary
BIOS you can find in most of today's computers.

It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes
one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot. Examples include:

 * A Linux kernel
 * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support)
 * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development)
 * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation)
 * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware)
 * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO)
 * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD)
 * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system)
 * memtest86 (for testing your RAM)


Supported Hardware
------------------

Coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.
