If you know which flash chip you have, and if this version of flashrom
supports a similar flash chip, you can try to force read your chip. Run:
flashrom -f -r -c similar_supported_flash_chip filename
Note: flashrom can never write when the flash chip isn't found
automatically.

It is a bad sign if you had to force the chip type for the read operation.

Can you run
flashrom -V
and report the results to this list?
We may need to change the chipset/board enable sequence for your board.
