Commit Message

When requesting JEDEC data using the JEDEC_READ command, the Linux kernel
always requests 6 bytes. The current implementation only returns three
bytes, and interprets the remaining three bytes as new commands.
While this does not matter most of the time, it is at the very least
confusing. To avoid the problem, always report up to 6 bytes of JEDEC
data. Fill remaining data with 0.

This is breaking an old firmware (Linux version 2.6.28.9) for a SuperMicro
board : 

	https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X11SSL-F 

which expects the flash ID to repeat. Erik solved the problem with the patch 
below and I think it makes sense to wrap around. Anyone knows what should be 
the expected behavior ? 

Thanks,

C.

No idea what the expected behavior is, but I am fine with the code below
if it works.

I checked on a few real systems and indeed the mx25l25635e behaves
differently.

I think we need a special case for it.

FWIW QEMU models this one as 64KiB.
