Re:Re: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Return error when nor->addr_width not match the device size

Hi Tudor, Boris, Cyrille,
There is no JEDEC BFPT tables in the datasheet. 
In my test platform, I sent RDSFDP command to the flash and got the
parameters back.
My device type is IS25LP256D-JMLA, which is not in H/E/G/F series of flash
that is described in chapter 11 of the datasheet. The reply from ISSI  suggests
only these certain devices can support SFDP table.
I am confused why my device can support RDSFDP command and give 
parameters back. I will ask ISSI for more details.
