Hm - right. You are probably the first one to use that code on a 16-bit 
non-CFI flash - for 16-bit flashs, the read will need to be changed, but 
I am not sure how exactly - I think we may need separate code depending 
on info->chipwidth, because 8-bit flashs only have an 8-bit ID.

Right. Setting info->buffer_size = 1 in jedec_flash.c/fill_info() should 
make sure that part of code is never executed.
