was updating my coreboot tree, rebuild after rebuild, etc

pretty sure i nuked one of the flash chips on the motherboard by keeping the clip connected (and powered & all) while powercycling.

i got away with it before, but i guess i rolled snake eyes this time. those are the bad ones, right?

edit: now that i think about it, i was able to read both flash chips without issue, and reflash them. it might just be a firmware issue, after all!

unrelated to the topic, but could you do a geekbench on the undervolted 4910MQ when you get around to it? I know it's not sustained load, I've just completed tweaking a $20 2015 MBP with 4770HQ with -75 mV. here's mine: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/12094501. still hits 95+ C with its shitty cooling. thanks.
