      One of the problems is that --force had multiple meanings · 27023768

      - Force chip read by faking probe success.
      - Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than max decode size for
        the flash bus.
      - Force erase even if erase is known bad.
      - Force write even if write is known bad.
      - Force writing even if cbtable tells us that this is the wrong image
        for this board.
      
      This patch cleans up --force usage:
      - Remove any suggestions to use --force for probe/read from flashrom
        output.
      - Don't talk about "success" or "Found chip" if the chip is forced.
      - Add a new internal programmer parameter boardmismatch=force. This
        overrides any mismatch detection from cbtable/image comparisons.
      - Add a new internal programmer parameter laptop=force_I_want_a_brick.
      - Adjust the documentation for --force.
      - Clean up the man page a bit whereever it talks about --force or
        laptops.
      
      Additional changes in this patch:
      - Add warnings about laptops to the documentation.
      - Abort if a laptop is detected. Can be overridden with the programmer
      parameter mentioned above.
      - Add "Portable" to the list of DMI strings indicating laptops.
      - Check if a chip specified with -c is known to flashrom.
      - Programmer parameter reliability and consistency fixes.
      - More paranoid self-checks.
      - Improve documentation.
      
      Corresponding to flashrom svn r996.
