Yes. I think long-term we want a (runtime/CMOS) option for coreboot to enable/disable ROM protection. For now, I guess every chipset does a different thing and/or doesn't explicitly protect or unprotect the ROM at all. As a safe default I think disabling the ROM write access is the best thing to do from a user's point of view. > I am happy with that if, and only if, the flashrom chipset enable takes > care of that. Sure, flashrom does that. And for other chipsets where we might write-protect the ROM later we also have flashrom chipset support. I cannot think of any chipset where we have coreboot support but no flashrom support (even for CK804 and MCP55 we have).
