What happens if you read at a different offset? You're exposing
the entire SFDP region. What happens if there is a 0x30 at a
different location?

I don't think it makes sense to have this one-off in a particular
driver. If at all, this should be handled in the core. Sorry, but
this really looks like an ugly hack.
