Hello,
I'm not an active member of flashrom "team", but in my life i have done some flash rounds
YOU have choose this version for the bios and for what I can see:
FW6A/B/C6-210621YKBR6L12*Please see notes above before flashing.
New Logo, Added Support for Intel i210/i211 NICsJune 30, 2021
is NOT the best choose.
In my opinion the right choose should be :
FW6A/B/C/D/E6-210827KBR6L 1.50Unified BIOS for FW6A/B/C/D/ENovember 18, 2021373da4fb5c93c964b7441bc6ee9580bfacb140d9bc25049cd4fdfef4a4076780 or in old vesion this:
FW6E6E201203KBR6L 1.32Initial Released VersionDecember 3, 2020
I have take all this information from
https://protectli.com/kb/bios-versions-for-the-vault/?intsrc=eu
as you can easy check it out...
I don't know actualy what is your PC state, but if you have a #bash terminal active "I THINK" you can try a soft shutdown with:
:$ sudo poweroff or :$ sudo shutdown -h now or :$ sudo shutdown -h +0
also without "sudo" (this because I don't know if you actualy are working like superuser or not).
Keep on mind that this is ONLY what I should do in your case, but I am NOBODY to assure you that this will solve your problem !!!
TAKE CARE (or wait for other staff suggetion)

Are you sure you would like to flash this device?
Flashing new firmware onto any hardware is potentially dangerous in that if the procedure is interrupted or otherwise not able to complete, your hardware may be rendered useless. Please proceed with caution. If there are any questions, please contact Protectli support BEFORE proceeding.
Unless there is a compelling reason to update the BIOS, we recommend to stay with your current known working BIOS version
