The problem is that the flash descriptor regions do not cover the whole
flash chip. There is a hole between 0x10000 and 0x1fffff (and the
second half of the chip is not mapped either). The chipset does not
allow accessing these holes but flashrom does try it by default
anyway because it reads the complete chip.

With some patching of flashrom this can be avoided but there is no
ready solution as far as I know. There are some patches regarding
layout handling that might be part of a possible solution, cf.
