I don't think the offset should be hardcoded in the device tree.
Apparently it is a property of this very chip (and not backed up by
a JEDEC standard). What happens if the SFDP are changed for this
flash? I.e. The length of the SFDP region changes.

Also, this looks like it is a layout for the SPI flash contents and
not the SFDP, how do you differentiate between these two? Also
please update your device tree to use 'compatible =
"fixed-partitions"'.
