[flashrom] stock flashrom vs Google forked flashrom on a chromebook running "stock linux"?

[James Feeney]

When flashing the boot rom or the EC rom on, particularly, an Intel SOC chromebook, and running a "stock linux", instead of the original chromeos, is there any fundamental difference between the stock flashrom and the Google forked flashrom that would prevent the stock flashrom from working properly?

Thanks
