thank you, that was what i was looking for. at first i presumed you were
running flashrom on a desktop machine.

flashrom tries to detect this (with dmidecode) but failed, hence my
confusion. the reason it checks that at all is that running flashrom on
laptops can be dangerous (e.g. instant shutdowns). it was not in your
case but please refrain from running it on other laptops.
