Comment:
I still think we should remove this check.
One benefit of flashrom is that it permits hassle free crossflashing. I
guess the crossflashing will often be factory BIOS images, in which case
this check does not run. Only when the user booted coreboot and wants to
flash another coreboot image will flashrom suddenly require -f to perform
the requested operation.
Please comment.
