We really need a decoder for this :D.
5346 4450 - sfdp signature
0601 01ff - 2nd dword, 2 parameter tables
0006 0110 - BFPT of 16 dwords
3000 00ff - parameter header, 2nd dword


> 00000010: 9d05 0103 8000 0002 ffff ffff ffff ffff  ................

9d05 0103 ID LSB = 0x9d, table with 3 dwords
8000 0002 ID MSB = 0x02 -> looks like a function specific vendor table

So the flash does not support the 4-byte Address Instruction table, we
can't retrieve the Quad PP from SFDP.
