Hi,

Please backport the following commit back to the Linux stable kernels 
6.6, 6.7 and 6.8:

commit 34a956739d295de6010cdaafeed698ccbba87ea4

     mtd: spinand: Add support for 5-byte IDs

     E.g. ESMT chips will return an identification code with a length of 5
     bytes. In order to prevent ambiguity, flash chips would actually 
need to
     return IDs that are up to 17 or more bytes long due to JEDEC's
     continuation scheme. I understand that if a manufacturer ID is located
     in bank N of JEDEC's database (there are currently 16 banks), N - 1
     continuation codes (7Fh) need to be added to the identification code
     (comprising of manufacturer ID and device ID). However, most flash chip
     manufacturers don't seem to implement this (correctly).

This will fix a regression introduced between Linux kernel 6.6.22 and 
6.6.23 in OpenWrt. The esmt NAND flash is not detected any more:
<3>[    0.885607] spi-nand spi0.0: unknown raw ID c8017f7f
<4>[    0.890852] spi-nand: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -524
See: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/14992


The following commit was backported to 6.6.22, but the commit it depends 
on was not backported.
