While both mainboards are new, they're night and day. The MSI Z370-A-PRO is an Intel platform, whereas the MSI X570-A PRO is an AMD platform. One of the main use-cases of flashrom is to rewrite the boot firmware (BIOS, UEFI, coreboot...), and flashrom is often used to flash coreboot onto things. What's more, coreboot and flashrom use the same review infrastructure [1], so it's easy for coreboot developers to contribute to flashrom. There's coreboot support for Intel Coffee Lake, but not for AMD Zen stuff; and flashrom support is in a similar situation. I know there's some patches that enable support floating around. However, I don't think anyone pushed anything for review (if so, I must have missed it). There might be something in the GitHub pull requests, but I haven't checked. Since the GitHub repo is a mirror, it's not possible to accept pull requests through it, and transferring the PRs to Gerrit isn't trivial because of the sign-off requirement [2]. Yes, that page also mentions using GitHub, but it then says that one should use Gerrit instead. Maybe I'll rewrite that part at some point.
