Thanks for the report.

There's little we can do about it. Platform code asked us
to register the device, and JEDEC probing of M25Pxx chips isn't
reliable (thanks to various vendors that make these JEDEC and
non-JEDEC variants), so the best thing we can do is to register
the chip anyway.

OTOH, if the board pulls MISO line up, then the following patch
should help.

If this won't work, we'll have to add some flag to the platform
data, i.e. to force JEDEC probing, and not trust platform data.

Make sense with pullup to keep the value high while external device
doesn't exist.

How about we add a non_jedec flag in platform_data, if the flag is 1, we
let the detection pass even though the ID is 0? Otherwise, we need a
valid ID?
