Yes. Often, people will connect flash chips without all the address lines 
being used, so they can swap in larger chips later. Then you get these 
'aliases'.

Er, I don't know. I don't think so, but if this _is_ required then it could 
be useful -- currently we have to use a chip-specific command to put chips 
back in read mode when we do the alias detection.

Yes, you can.
