I'm afraid this is not enough information to say anything. Though,
I suspect that flashrom just doesn't know your chip (yet). Please
capture a verbose log (just `flashrom -p internal -o logfile.txt`) and
report back.

Yes, that often makes trouble (the website is sometimes misconfigured
and Firefox, like most other browsers, is broken regarding reasonable
TLS security anyway). Please use another paste service, or just attach
your log to an email.
