There's 3 different methods used by flash devices to identify
themselfes.
aa 55 90 is the most used one. Others (i.e. some Winbonds) need
aa 55 80 aa 55 60, whereas the third method (some other winbonds)
is aa 55 80 aa 55 20.
As far as I could estimate, the order in which you probe is crucial.
Some chips answer to aa 55 80 aa 55 60 or  aa 55 80 aa 55 20 with
their protection map instead of their id. 
Eon Flashchips don't put their device id to 0x01, but to 0x101. 
0x00 and 0x01 contain the vendor id (0x7f)

/dev/bios does that part of the probing pretty ok. I suggest you have a
look at programming.c:flash_probe_address()

get /dev/bios from the OpenBIOS cvs tree:
