Well the changes wound up being a little more extensive than
I described them. But the code in cfi_cmdset_0001 and cfi_cmdset_0002 should
now be free of incorrect assumptions about what a flash chip can do.

As for the correct way to do this it probably still needs a little more
code review but there are fixup functions that are called when command sets
are initialized that allow for weird cases to be special cased.
