Currently SFDP is mostly supported only on Micron devices, that
too the newer ones. So we don't know whether SFDP would be
accepted by other major SPI NOR manufactures like:
Spansion, Nymonix, Micronix, Toshiba, Samsung..

Thus, it might end-up like CFI (common flash interface) where some
vendors support it while others did not. So unless there are more
devices on SFDP from different vendors, I would prefer defer its
implementation in generic driver.
