Don't worry, you don't bother me at all. If you did, I wouldn't be
here to answer ;).

Well, you can give it a try. But the problem anyway is that your chip
still remains write-protected. We need to find out how to disable
write-protection for your specific board. If you check the recent
mailing list archives
(<http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2009-November/thread.html>),
you will see that there alot of other reports with exactly the same
problem. I think Carl-Daniel said, he would be working on that soon.

Don't know either, sorry. Why don't you join the IRC-channel #flashrom
on FreeNode, it's really worth to come by, alot of experts are on
there.

You're welcome.

Could you provide the output of lspci, superiotool and flashrom as I
suggested and post it to the mailing list?
