How did Linux end up resolving this?  I think it'd be better to have the
Micron decoding logic from that patch, than to introduce a special
addition to the ID table for this one chip, which might not be correct
for all chips with that ID byte.

Or, we could treat it as information to be supplied by platform code (or
the device tree).
