[flashrom] Re: release v1.5.0 plan and timeline

[Anastasia Klimchuk]

Hello Arthur,

Maybe this doc will be helpful:
https://flashrom.org/supported_hw/supported_chipsets.html

Also not sure that downgrading would help: chipset support typically
added in new versions (not removed). So if something is not supported
by now, it probably never was in the past.
