Hello, I recently ran flashrom on my Lenovo V330-14ARR Laptop and got the following message asking me to make a report:
>$ sudo flashrom -r backup.rom -p internal >flashrom on Linux 5.12.19_1 (x86_64) >flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org >Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns). >Found chipset "AMD FP4". >Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x61 does not >match known values. >Please report this to flashrom@flashrom.org and include this log and >the output of lspci -nnvx, thanks!. >Could not determine chipset generation.PROBLEMS, continuing anyway >======================================================================== >You seem to be running flashrom on an unknown laptop.

I have attached the output of lspci -nnvx. For some context: the vendor firmware on this laptop is likely broken according to linux warning messages and it often fails to boot or even hangs with 100% CPU usage some time after boot. In fact, the reason I am running the 5.12 kernel is because newer kernels hardly boot at all anymore. For this reason I was trying to determine the viability of replacing the vendor firmware with coreboot. Thank you kindly. Murray.
