This isn't a P30 48F4400 specific feature, even if it is the only
current user.  This description works for any arrangement of multiple
NOR chips.  I isn't really appropriate to mention the P30 in this way
and it should be more generic.

However, it is completely appropriate to mention P30 here because it
is in the context of an example.

For best practice, compatible should also specify the exact chip in this case.
