For the casual reader, this suggests putting "nor-jedec" first, which is not
what we want. So I would write it like e.g.

"Should be the manufacturer and the name of the chip. Additionally,
 should contain "nor-jedec" for any SPI NOR flash that can be
 identified by the JEDEC READ ID opcode (0x95)."

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
