Unfortunately, this is wrong ... PCI config space writes can have
arbitrary side-effects (even reads can, sigh), even if you write the
same value. Replacing 8-/16-bit writes by 32-bit read-modify-write
cycles simply does not work.
If the OS does not support narrow writes, the best libpci can do is to
refuse the operation and let the application, which probably knows better
how the particular piece of hardware behaves, handle it somehow.
IOW, either OpenBSD should be fixed, or the work-around should be placed
in flashrom, which knows the device in question.
Have a nice fortnight
