ch. 6.1, fig.10 looks like all the headers come after the initial SFDP
header. If that wasn't the case, how would you find the headers then?

Also ch. 6.3
"""All subsequent parameter headers need to be contiguous and may be
specified..."""

The tables itself, yes, but not the headers for the tables.

btw. I've also added an export for the jedec id and the flash name to
this patch, which will be included in the next version.
