You might be interested in my work around SPI NOR fixups[1]. I added a
few fixup hooks that can be implemented by manufacturer drivers (a new
concept) or on a per-chip basis. Looks like you'd need to implement a
->post_bfpt() fixup hook for this particular chip (see what's been done
for this Macronix chip [2]).

Boris
