Hey there,
flashrom told me to send you this log alongside the output of lspci, so here you go ;)
Kind regards,

$ sudo flashrom -p internal -r curie-backup.rom flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.6.14-20.05.23.amdgpu (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). No DMI table found. Found chipset "AMD FP4". Enabling flash write... FCH device found but SMBus revision 0x59 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 may be running flashrom on an unknown laptop. We could not detect this for sure because your vendor has not set up the SMBIOS tables correctly. Some internal buses have been disabled for safety reasons. You can enforce using all buses by adding -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop to the command line, but please read the following warning if you are not sure.
Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See the manpage and https://flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned. ======================================================================== No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
