[Test results] Polaris10 works (read, write, verify)

[Djhg2000]

I have a Sapphire RX 470 8GB Mining Edition (the later version without a DVI port) and I can confirm your flashrom fork works perfectly fine with it!

I bought the card used and it came with a broken overclock written to the primary bios slot and it has a whooping 4 VBIOS flash slots operated by hardware switches, so I had very little to lose. I read out both the broken and the safe mode VBIOS, then compared them to the dumps made with GPU-Z in a Windows 10 VM (which is driving me nuts). Since they both matched I went ahead with overwriting the broken VBIOS with the safe mode one, and the card did indeed boot and read out the safe mode VBIOS with GPU-Z!

Attached below is the log of me restoring the broken VBIOS to the card and verifying that the safe mode VBIOS is no longer on there (just so that I had a log to show you):

I also confirm the last flashrom-ati's commit works perfectly on my Sapphire Radeon RX470 ( for reading, writting and erasing ).

Ellesmere/Polaris 10 Pro card
VendorID = 1002 (ATI)
DeviceID = 67df (Ellesmere RX470)
SPI = Gigadevice GD25Q40(B) of 512KB

Many thanks for this software!
