flashrom v1.2 on Linux 5.8.14-arch1-1 (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Cannot open file stream for /dev/mtd0
No DMI table found.
Found chipset "Intel CM246".
Enabling flash write... Warning: BIOS region SMM protection is enabled!
Warning: Setting Bios Control at 0xdc from 0xaa to 0x89 failed.

At least some flash regions are write protected. For write operations,
you should use a flash layout and include only writable regions. See
manpage for more details.
Enabling hardware sequencing because some important opcode is locked.
PROBLEMS, continuing anyway
========================================================================
You may be running flashrom on an unknown laptop. We could not
detect this for sure because your vendor has not set up the SMBIOS
tables correctly. Some internal buses have been disabled for
safety reasons. You can enforce using all buses by adding
  -p internal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop
to the command line, but please read the following warning if you
are not sure.

Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we
recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller
(EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing.
See the manpage and https://flashrom.org/Laptops for details.

If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop
and write may brick your laptop.
Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight
failure and sudden poweroff.
You have been warned.
