+/*
+ * Note: RAMTRON SPI FRAMs are ferroelectric, nonvolatile RAMs
+ * with an interface identical to SPI flash devices.
+ * However since they behave like RAM there are no delays or
+ * busy polls required. They can sustain read or write at the
+ * allowed SPI bus speed, which can be 40 MHz for some devices.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately some RAMTRON devices do not have a means of
+ * identifying them. They will leave the SO line undriven when
+ * the READ-ID command is issued. It is therefore mandatory
+ * that the MISO line has a proper pull-up, so that READ-ID
+ * will return a row of 0xff. This 0xff pseudo-id will cause
+ * probes by all vendor specific functions that are designed
+ * to handle it. If the MISO line is not pulled up, READ-ID
+ * could return any random noise, even mimicking another
+ * device.
+ *
+ * We use CONFIG_SPI_FRAM_RAMTRON_NON_JEDEC
+ * to define which device will be assumed after a simple status
+ * register verify. This method is prone to false positive
+ * detection and should therefore be the last to be tried.
+ * Enter it in the last position in the table in spi_flash.c!
+ *
+ * The define CONFIG_SPI_FRAM_RAMTRON_NON_JEDEC both activates
+ * compilation of the special handler and defines the device
+ * to assume.
