Hi,
it would be easier to help if you post the flashrom output.
However just guessing I would say you are running an old version (e.g. 1.2) of
flashrom. The chip support was added last year. Since there was no new release
since 1.2, probably you have to download (/clone) the current master

your "problem" is that you get a GigDevice and not the expected Winbond

well, at least you don´t have a good (enough) connection to the chip.
Check your log file: "probe_spi_rdid_generic:" should give you the same ID as
