Recently, i use the 39VF6401B flash, and i apply your patch. The chip
can be get detected. But when i erase one sector, it use 0x30 to erase
one block. The size of a block is much bigger than a sector as we
know.So i use the JEDEC probe to detect the flash. And i make the
erase size to one block-erase size. And it works fine. So i think
the chip(39VF6401B) should not be CFI compliant, maybe the JEDEC
mode is better.
