I think you need latest flashrom for this to work. If this is indeed a machine which you can't power off because it acts as a server, tests with this patch are still useful in theory, but the results might be garbage. Not sure yet. I can't make any guarantees, but the patch should be safe to test (unless the GPIO read has side effects, but that is unlikely).
