I understand that "n25q512a1" was added to distinguish between
0x20bb20 and 0x20ba20,
which is essentially 1.8V and 3V parts.
(The actual part numbers are n25q512a11 and n25q512a13 respectively)
But USE_FSR is required for both parts.

Sorry for posting this question here but it seemed relevant:
When such devices differ only in supply voltages (and return different
response to READ ID),
which we don't act on, is there a way to use the same string?
