[flashrom] flashrom -V

[Volker Twer]

Hey,
I'm thinking about upgrading my BIOS and found "flashrom" in DEBIAN-repositories. Running a "read" on the builtin BIOS I saw the request for sending you some information - so here you are.
Does "guesswork" mean, it might be unsafe to use this software on this board/bios?

Thanks for your work!
Greetings,
Volker

This ist the requested output
