+.B "\-L, \-\-list\-supported"
+List the ROM chips, chipsets, and mainboards supported by flashrom.
+The list of mainboards consists of those boards which need a special
+ROM write-enable function for flashrom to work.

+There are many other boards which will work out of the box, without such
+special support in flashrom. Some of the known-good/known-bad and tested ones
