if one doesn't know the mainboard, it is indeed dangerous even for
probing. Otherwise it wouldn't be a scary option ;)

If one knows the mainboard and that the flash chip is *not* connected
via LPC/FWH _through_ the EC, then one can remove the need of this
option by adding an entry to `board_enable.c`.
