Trying to flash coreboot on APU2C4 with libpci-3.5.6 and latest flashrom
results in this:

# flashrom -p internal -w apu2_v4.0.15.rom=20
flashrom v1.0 on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6 (amd64) flashrom is free software,=
 get
the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 4, resolution: 2ns).
coreboot table found at 0xdffae000.
Found chipset "AMD FCH".
Enabling flash write... OK.
No EEPROM/flash device found.
Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.

This problem has been described quite a couple of months ago @
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/muc.lists.freebsd.hackers/KNzO0CnMp=
bA
without any solution. Flashing works without any problem with libpci-3.5.5.=

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git/tree/ChangeLog
mentions: "Improvements of the FreeBSD back-end: read-only access for non-r=
oot"
- this clearly did not work as expected.

I have reported the issue to the maintainer - mj (at) ucw.cz - as per
http://mj.ucw.cz/sw/pciutils/ about two weeks ago, so far without any
ack/response. Give that the maintainer has repeatedly claimed to have no
FreeBSD development boxes available, I think I'd rather move it here.
