if you work with a modern x86 system that is expected. The flash chip
isn't dedicated to the "BIOS" anymore. In case of an Intel system the
CBFS must not be bigger than the BIOS region of the flash chip, or it
will be overwritten by other firmware parts. Again in case of Intel,
you can use `ifdtool` [1] to decode the flash regions.
