Hi!

I've attached the results of the command "/usr/local/sbin/flashrom -VVV
--programmer internal -w M2N-MX-SE-Plus-0602.ROM -o flashrom.log",
using flashrom version 0.9.7.

I can see the same behaviour (the "S" suffix), but maybe it is because I
already had flashed bios before this tests. If it is of any use, I can
send logs of flashing with an older version of bios and then with the
last version... Please let me know what you think.
