Flashli 1.1.21 fails to update FW6D from v1.0.6 to v1.0.14

Related to #9
Now trying again to upgrade using Ubuntu 20.04 Live CD boot.

This coreboot image (Protectli:FW6) does not appear to
be correct for the detected mainboard (Protectli:FW6D).

Are you sure you would like to flash this device?

 Flashing new firmware onto any hardware is potentially dangerous in that if the
procedure is interrupted or otherwise not able to complete, your hardware may be rendered
useless. Please proceed with caution. If there are any questions, please contact
Protectli support BEFORE proceeding.

 Unless there is a compelling reason to update the BIOS, we recommend to stay with your
current known working BIOS version

1.1.22 still displays miss match error but continues with the flash.

I was considering buying a Protecli product until I saw the issues on this project. This public demonstration of Protectli's very poor issue handling skills leaves far too much to be desired...
