Yes, but I say forget about using flashrom as-is for this. The code
is still pretty much a mess.

The *actual* code needed to reprogram (parts of) a flash chip is not
very many instructions. Maybe 500. *Maybe*. Just include a minimal
flash driver in the serialice shell instead.

Our experience from flashrom will be valuable. Some parts of the
erase and write routines in flashrom could probably be reused in
part.

KISS. It's one system. No need to shoehorn a big clunky generic
program into the box.
