I haven't checked what this spincl tool is doing. Would you please instead
hack the spi-nor core and read 15 bytes let's say, and just dump them with a dev_err?

Does this flash has a vendor table? We can get the bank number from the vendor's
table, Parameter ID field.

Michael has recently added support to dump the SFDP tables via sysfs.
Would you please dump the SFDP tables and post it here?
