Stopped working after transitioning to Fedora 40 which currently comes with 8.2.2, also doesn't work with Debian 12 which has 7.2.9.

+additional = """After building versions 8.1.3 and 8.1.4 I found both were working fine regartheless the host OS, the issue was introduced in 8.1.5. 
+After inspecting commits history I drop the following commit [hw/pflash: implement update buffer for block writes (hash:fcc79f2e09550b0461792491965fe202ed2219ae)](https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/fcc79f2e09550b0461792491965fe202ed2219ae) rebuilt and the issue was gone.
+I then recheck all non working versions and both versions 8.2.2 and 7.2.9 also have this commit, this explains why it also doesn't work.
+I attached a trace running with v8.1.5 and v8.1.5 with drop commit.
