This option currently doesn't work as expected. If the BIOS has this flash as read-only there is no way to change this thru the driver. There is a parameter which allows the flash to become writable with the "writable" option to the module, but it does nothing if the BIOS has it set to read-only. I would expect this option would make the flash writable regardless of the BIOS settings. This patch changes this option so the BIOS setting doesn't stop the writable option from enabling read write on the flash.
