nrfutil ARM64 does not work with nrf52 series

nrfutil ARM64 cannot successfully flash an nRF52 series part. In this example I am trying to flash an nRF52840.

On the same system, nrfjprog works without issue.

nrfutil version:

Detected SEGGER J-Link version: JLink_V8.50

The device command version you are currently using was tested with a different J-Link version (JLink_V8.42) than the one you have installed (JLink_V8.50). The tested version is not required, and your J-Link version will most likely work fine. If you get issues related to J-Link with your devices, use the tested version.
