> What is the kernel policy regarding obsolete flash chips? > Macronix annonce on end of life of mx25l12805d in 2010. Which doesn't mean there are no boards using it. But EOL in 2010 might be a strong argument to remove it. But I don't see the need for it, yet. > > Also please have a look at > > https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/mtd/spi-nor.html > > The new mx25l12833f supports SFDP, the obsolete mx25l12805d does not. > I did manage to read the SFDP, though I do not have a copy of it (I do > not have the hardware any more).

Imagine sometime later, there's a third flash with this exact ID, then we need to have the SFDP to figure out if there are any differences between yours and the new one. -michael
