Read & Write seems ok for this Atmel.  I've checked using a factory
bios.bin and also writing a linuxbios.rom file.  Boots with flashing
with a factory bios.bin.  So this chip is probably well tested here. :-)

Problematic.  I see the patch provides addresses for this chip instead
of using the jedec_probe for probe/read/write functions.

Altering the addresses for teh MDF002* chips to use the jedec_probe
functions seems to work.

I have test read the MDF002T chip here.  I don't want to write to it
because it's the chip that came with this board.


On a side note, both of these chips, I do 

# ./flashrom -r test.bin

# diff /dev/mtd0ro ./test.bin 
or
# cmp /dev/mtd0ro ./test.bin

Both tests state the files differ or EOF.

But if I do:
# dd if=/dev/mtd0ro of=./test.bin

#diff /dev/mtd0ro ./test.bin

diff states the files are the same.

<shrugs> I'm probably doing something wrong here. :-/
