In general,spi nor include three parts Id infor,
First,it is Manufacturer ID, size is 1 byte.
Second,it is Device ID,and size is 2 bytes,this sector will include memory
type and capacity information.
Third,it is unique ID,and size is 17 bytes(now only used 2 bytes in linux),first byte
will indicate length of data to follow,second byte is real Extended id,and
very important.Next 14 bytes is optional,it can be customized factory data.
Now in our linux,former two parts all be used for Deivce Id ,ant its size
is 3 bytes.third part(extended id)be used 2 bytes,and called extended id.
In our Micron spi nor serials,there are some spi nor that the same Deivce id
with different extended ID,so in order to distinguish this,you only add extended id
infor in struct spi_device_id spi_nor_ids,and don't let relevant spi nor Extended ID field
is NULL.just as Spansion:
{ "s25sl032p", INFO(0x010215, 0x4d00, 64 * 1024, 64, SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ | SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ) },
{ "s25sl064p", INFO(0x010216, 0x4d00, 64 * 1024, 128, 0) },
{ "s25fl256s0", INFO(0x010219, 0x4d00, 256 * 1024, 128, 0) },
