Well, my view is that the default behaviour should be to use the
motherboard.
Yes, good idea, flashrom should list the possible devices:
-p without arguments could scan all pci devices and list the ones it can
use and list the rom id.
When using -w, a pci tag argument should be required to avoid mistakes.
-r with -p can happen if only one possible device is found.
