[flashrom] not working on mintBox2

[Javier]

Hi,

Please notice I'm not subscribed, so please CC me...

On a mintbox2 running Arch, I tried flashrom, just to initially find
out about my mintBox2 HW, as indicated in [1], but it fails with
outputs suggested in [2]:

https://gist.github.com/je-vv/fca0fe3b2ce6d8999194a01fa0d10fc3#file-lspci-log
https://gist.github.com/je-vv/fca0fe3b2ce6d8999194a01fa0d10fc3#file-superiortool-log

The thing is that this is not a laptop, and according the mintbox2
specs, the chipset is "Mobile Intel QM77 Chipset (Panther Point)" [3].
So the warning about a laptop is sort of weird.  Granted it's a
mini-pc any ways...

Also granted that according to [4], the status seems "dep" (orange).

Noticed that I tried setting as a parameter for linux "iomem=relaxed"
with exactly the same results...

Am I definitely out of luck with flashrom?
