I totally agree with you. Indeed I have only provided patch 8 and 9 because
I refer to these memories in the cover letter and to "prove" that I did really
test every memory of the list. If everyone trust me about the test I do, I
will remove patch 8 and 9 in the next version.

By the way, I need to add a remark about the Spansion S25FL127S. The sample I
have is compliant with neither the JESD216B specification nor the Cypress
datasheet. More precisely, the Cypress datasheet claims that the S25FL127S
is compliant with the JESD216B (minor 6) so its Basic Flash Parameter Table
(BFPT) should contain 16 DWORDS.
However my sample claims to be JESD216B compliant (I read minor 6) and that
the BFPT has 16 DWORDS but the 7 last DWORDS of this table are all 0xFFFFFFFF.
Only the first 9 DWORDS are properly filled, the DWORDS described in JESD216
(minor 0).
Also my sample pretend to provide the optional 4-byte address instruction set
(4BAIS) table but the data I read are once again all 0xFFFFFFFF.

It's surprising that this 128Mbit memory supports the 4-byte address
instruction set but the 4-byte Fast Read actually seems to be supported.

Consequently, Fast Read operations work but Sector Erase cannot due to the
0xFF op code read from the 4BAIS table. I think I just have a broken sample so
if anyone can test with another sample and confirm that the SFDP series also
work with Spansion S25FL127S it would be nice! :)

Best regards,

Cyrille
