But even then I wouldn't rely on SeaBIOS for that, but use libflashrom to build a payload: SeaBIOS can load other payloads, as can GRUB2, so that increases the potential user base of the flashing feature, and it would be smaller than a disk image of a Linux that's put into flash (which sounds rather convoluted to me).
