Unless it's changed since I last looked the code auto detects
whether it should use 0x555/0x2aa or 0x5555/0x2aaa.  If one variant
doesn't work it then tries the other.

Yes. I believe it is SST that is the odd man out in this
regard.

My hunch is to try the very old sequence last, if the newer
sequences do not work.  In the worst case you will have to write
your own probe routine.  But I suspect Jedec probe can stretch a
little more.
