Yes Mike has a good observation. 

This is what it might look like if you installed firmware by writing the entire firmware file using flashrom instead of the firmware update tool 'futility'.
Futility knows not to overwrite certain areas of flash, like the bit that says what model/sku/parts you have 'PHASER $something useful', among others.

If you have a backup of your firmware you could restore that using flashrom again.
