Thanks for testing the patch. Not correct. It is cosmetic in your case 
since your flash CFI is version 1.1 or later.

It looks like I cannot access JEDEC IDs while still in CFI Query mode in 
AMD style flash (unlike Intel). Bummer :( I have to explicitly send the 
autoselect command to read out and switch back to CFI Query mode again.

I will improve the patch. Also, while browsing Spansion web site, I came 
across with 3 byte Device IDs. So, we have to improve on that as well.

Best regards,
Tolunay
