Hello,

I am rying to update the BIOS on my 10-yr-old laptop.  Per the output of the flashrom command, I am including the output I received:

[root@Dilbert ~]# flashrom -p internal -V
flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.8.18-350.vanilla.knurd.1.fc33.x86_64 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

flashrom was built with libpci 3.6.4, GCC 10.2.1 20201125 (Red Hat 10.2.1-9), little endian
Command line (3 args): flashrom -p internal -V
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).

Found chipset "Intel HM67" with PCI ID 8086:1c4b.
This chipset is marked as untested. If you are using an up-to-date version
of flashrom *and* were (not) able to successfully update your firmware with it,
then please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org including a verbose (-V) log.
Thank you!

Can you help?  Can I use this utility to flash my BIOS (I have the BIOS file from MSI)?
