Add support for the Fudan Microelectronics FM25Q256 (JEDEC ID f7 f0 30),
a 256Mbit (32MB) SPI NOR flash chip. This chip is found on Lenovo
ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 (Arrow Lake-S) platforms as the SPI flash backing
the UEFI firmware.
The chip supports 4K sector erase, dual read, and quad read modes.
Without this patch, the kernel's spi-nor driver reports:
spi-nor spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: f7 f0 30
and refuses to create an MTD device, preventing userspace tools from
accessing the flash.

So F7 (without continuation codes) is ZMD. Fudan Micro is 7F 7F 7F
7F 7F 7F 7F A1 or if you (wrongly) ignore the continuation codes A1.
That's also what's described in the datasheet, mentioned below. Do
you really have a Fudan Micro flash?

Do you use the latest kernel? Doesn't the flash provide SFDP? I've
looked at [1] (there is none for the 256Mbit variant) and that one
supports SFDP.
