The Intel command set code is a back end only. It doesn't have any code for 
probing the chips, and should be invoked only from a driver which can do 
so. At the moment, the only driver which can do that is the CFI probe. If 
you want to use the cfi_cmdset_0001 code with non-CFI chips, you need to 
write your own probe code which will identify the chip, set up a dummy cfi 
structure, and swap the chip driver operations with the cfi_cmdset_0001 
back end as the cfi_probe code does.
