[flashrom] Please help adding support for flashing Nvidia GF116 cards - for rescuing the world electrical waste

[Nico Huber]

Hi hsjfd,

you asked in the subject for help adding support? How can we help you?

If you just wanted to ask if somebody else is willing to do the work,
you might have more luck asking Nouveau developers. They probably know
the hardware best. Or, fund it...

Can you provide any evidence that the above mentioned refunding works
100%? Any clue that you are not working for these scammers (even by
accident, if it worked for you only by chance)?
