I would love to see HDD/SSD firmware flashing being supported by flashrom through some more SATA controllers.
Unless it supports at least some kind of addressing I don't deem it within the scope of flashrom. Just reading a complete file and piping it into an API (which library do they use BTW?) is nothing exciting that requires the whole infrastructure of flashrom. By addressing I mean e.g. a way to write only part of the underlying flash memory.
We do support some PCIe based SSDs with Marvell controllers (see satamv.c), but in that case it's the SATA host controller (which is part of the PCIe SSD), not the device behind a SATA interface.
