Hi Tudor Ambarus,
I have done quick test with these generic patches. Please find my observation

With generic flash driver patches I get below results
----------------------------------------------------
xxd -p sfdp

This result is same as above.

How do we get proper partname/manufacturer details with generic flash driver?
