Thinking about this more, I wouldn't worry too much about
cfi_cmdset_0020.c. It's old, fairly unmaintained, and only has a single
user as far as I know.
If your changes break it, then it'll give someone and excuse to update
the code. Eventually it should be merged with cfi_cmdset_0001.c anyway,
since M58LW128A reports command set 01, but really needs the
functionality of command set 20. The exception list you talked about in
IRC might help with that.
But don't let me stop you from making it work if you want to :).

Probably because it isn't that common of a part, and newer versions of
that chip have been made available.
