SFDP data is in lore, but not the params which are missing (?) Marc, can
you compare with your data?

My understanding (which may clearly be erroneous) is that most of these
flashes support 4K blocks but somehow don't advertise it in their SFDP
data, so every time we describe a chip we must remember to tick that
flag. I guess all^Wmost chips have 4k blocks compatibility support, but in
general we prefer to use bigger blocks (the ones advertised in the SFDP
data). Michael, am I being mislead by the decades of history that went
through the spi-nor core? :)
