The FLASH returns the correct data, but it is not received correctly.
When reading 16 bytes, thus including the ASCII model at offset 6/7:

  - actual:   01 02 20 4d 00 80 47 31 82 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
  - received: 01 02 20 4d 00 00 8e 63 05 ff ff ff ff ff ff fe

When retrying the operation, data is received correctly.

This happens due to a Runtime PM related bug in the initialization code
of the spi-rspi driver: if the module clock is not running (disabled by
my debug code, the boot loader, or the clk_disable_unused late
initcall), the SPI controller is not initialized properly.  The first
transfer still manages to read some correct data, which used to be
sufficient to identify the S25FL512S FLASH chip, before the sixth byte
was also considered.

Will send a quick fix, and a proper solution requiring more refactoring
later.

Sorry for the noise...
