Confusing output while doing flash write on apu2

Flash written

[SergiiDmytruk]

This looks like a duplicate of #15.

[pietrushnic]

This is a different problem. What I'm reporting here is not that it didn't flash but that it reports the confusing status Flash written despite the fact that it was not written because of bug #15. Of course, the correct implementation of #15 could solve this issue, but it does not guarantee it. We essentially should test against output for the cases for both successful and unsuccessful outcomes of the tool while flashing.

We always print it no matter what the result was: https://github.com/Dasharo/osfv-scripts/blob/main/osfv_cli/osfv_cli/osfv_cli.py#L253

Should be an easy fix to pass (return) flashing result from the library to the CLI.

This issue still occurs when flash device is not found:

Added PR which makes the script respect flashrom's return code.
Here's an example of failure when provided with invalid ROM size.

This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: WP
The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development
version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version,
please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org if any of the above operations
work correctly for you with this flash chip. Please include the flashrom log
file for all operations you tested (see the man page for details), and mention
which mainboard or programmer you tested in the subject line.

Since the asset 105 has been checkout manually by you prior running this script, it will NOT be checked in automatically. Please return the device when work is finished.
