As long as you just want to use the standard features described by SFDP,
yes. There might be lacking support for some SFDP features, though. 
These
should then be added to the SFDP parser.

But, there are also features, which aren't supported by SFDP, i.e. 
locking
or OTP. If you want to use these, you still need a flash table entry.
