I did, of course. And checked with the existing u-boot code, too:
It should be rather obvious that changing these IDs (which are supposed
to match the codes read back from the chips) will indeed break existing
code.

Looking into the data sheet of the Intel Strata chips (28FxxxJ3A, Intel
document number 290667-009) at Table 15 (Identifier Codes) you'll see
that the device codes (found at word address 0001) are
28F320J3A: 0x0016
28F640J3A: 0x0017
28F128J3A: 0x0018
No ambiguity here.

Looking into include/flash.h at the xxxx_ID_yyyy macros I fail to see
a single one with embedded manufacturer ID (apart from the (incorrect)
INTEL_ID_28F128J3).

Then you clearly didn't do it in the same way that the (existing)
code does it; the manufacturer code is read separately from the chip ID
(see flash_get_size() in board/eric/flash.c for a good example).

As already stated in my previous mail, I agree that the code for
28F128J3 (without 'A') is incorrect
(BTW, the manufacturer code is _not_ supposed to be embedded in the
xxxx_ID_yyyy codes, see above).
