issue rpi-eeprom-config -e

Thanks... great job :) !!!

I did the

apt install flashrom

Fixed already:

• raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom#547
• raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom#549

Until the new package is live, either:

G_CONFIG_INJECT 'RPI_EEPROM_USE_FLASHROM=' 'RPI_EEPROM_USE_FLASHROM=0' /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update

or:

apt install flashrom

Background:

• Recently, support for flashrom has been integrated into rpi-eeprom-update to allow flashing the EEPROM binary directly, instead of having this done on reboot.
• The variable RPI_EEPROM_USE_FLASHROM has been introduced to use or not use it, which defaults to 1 (use it).
• When you did not set this to 0, but the flashrom tool/package is not installed, rpi-eeprom-update did output a warning whenever executed, even when it is just used to list the latest EEPROM image and not flash anything.
• This warning message hence mixed in the output which should actually contain the latest EEPROM path only, causing an invalid path for rpi-eeprom-config to choke on.

The fix moved the warning form STDOUT to STDERR (so that is is not used by rpi-eeprom-config) and additionally the flashrom check is only done, when actually updating the EEPROM, not anymore when listing available EEPROM binaries or doing other things.
