I have a feeling there are more than one "n25q512a" device, with
different IDs.

Hmm, are you sure that all Micron n25q512a need to check the flag status
register? I'll check my datasheets when I'm back in the office, but this
seems peculiar.

You probably want to figure out the distinction between the old table
entry and the new one, and assign your new entry a new string
accordingly.

This doesn't look good at all. If any other flash start to need this, we
don't want to code each ID string here. That's fragile and
non-scaleable. If we need this option, you need to add another flag to
the m25p_ids[] table, I guess...
