I'm looking at the following datasheets: mt25qu512a [1] and n25q512a [2].
Both flashes have the same Extended Device ID data. What will happen, is that
you'll always hit the first valid entry, so "mt25qu512a", and you'll indicate a
'wrong' flash name for n25q512a. If there is nothing that differentiate between
the two, maybe you can add a comment in the code that says that "n25q512a" was
re-branded to "mt25qu512a" after the STM spin-off. Whatever solution will be, it
will be better if you do it in a separate patch.

Is there a public datasheet for this flash?
