[flashrom] Flashrom Update Failure

[Will Choe]

Resolved it by copy & modifying:

		else if (force && chip_to_probe)
		{
struct registered_programmer *pgm;
			int compatible_programmers = 0;
			msg_cinfo("Force read (-f -r -c) requested, pretending the chip is there:\n");
			/* This loop just counts compatible controllers. */
			for (j = 0; j < registered_programmer_count; j++) {
				pgm = &registered_programmers[j];
				/* chip is still set from the chip_to_probe earlier in this function. */
				if (pgm->buses_supported & chip->bustype)
					compatible_programmers++;
			}
			if (!compatible_programmers) {
				msg_cinfo("No compatible controller found for the requested flash chip.\n");
				ret = 1;
				goto out_shutdown;
			}
			if (compatible_programmers > 1)
				msg_cinfo("More than one compatible controller found for the requested flash "
					  "chip, using the first one.\n");
			for (j = 0; j < registered_programmer_count; j++) {
				pgm = &registered_programmers[j];
				startchip = probe_flash(pgm, 0, &flashes[0], 1);
				if (startchip != -1)
					break;
			}
			msg_cinfo("Please note that forced writes most likely contain garbage.\n");
		}
		if (startchip == -1) {
		ret = 1;
		goto out_shutdown;
		}

to the  cli_classic.c

I think it's better to have 'force & force' option to do the writing.
