Me Likee. Thanks. One comment though...

You've made it accept CFI table versions 1.0 through 1.3 for _all_
chips, while some were only accepting 1.0->1.2 before.

That's probably not a problem since they _ought_ to be
backward-compatible, but if we actually trusted the hardware
manufacturers to display a modicum of intelligence, we wouldn't have had
that check there at all. And you wouldn't have been writing this patch
in the first place. I'm happy to remove it and perhaps reinstate it if
it ever actually bites.

Other than that, it looks fine. Please go ahead and commit it.
