Great :)

Maybe we should print the vendor and the name and
both are optional? I don't have a strong opinion here
as long as it's not "(null)" because that looks like
a bug.

There is spi_nor_sysfs_is_visible() you can hide this property the
same was as the manufacturer property is hidden.

Also, please update
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-spi-devices-spi-nor in this case:

  The attribute is optional. User space shouldn't rely on it to
  be present or even correct. Instead, user space should read the
  jedec_id attribute.
