Okay I've found this was a driver issue. After switching to the new aspeed
spi-mem driver[1], the sysfs interface works.

Since I'm using kernel 5.15, I copied the /drivers/mtd/spi-nor from 5.18-rc7
(I know this it not a clean way, but it works), and applied the SNOR_ID3()
patch. Verified using SNOR_ID3() macro works with this mx66l2g45g and the
values dumped from sysfs are the same.

[ 1.696350] spi spi0.0: setup: ignoring unsupported mode bits 200
[ 1.703786] spi-nor spi0.0: mx66l2g45g (262144 Kbytes)
[ 1.764440] spi-aspeed-smc 1e620000.spi: CE0 read buswidth:2 [0x203c0641]

Due to the lockdown in Shanghai, I am unable to test my 2nd patch at this
time, please temporarily ignore it.

I will perform more tests and update the patch later.
