No, I am saying that your change will make mx66u51235f get detected as 
mx25u51245g, but it won't make any difference in practice because both 
entries have the same flags set.

There have been some ideas on the Linux side about how to handle these 
collisions. One of them being that the SFDP contents can be used to 
differentiate between flashes having the same ID. I would appreciate it 
if you help drive the solution forward on the Linux side, and then it 
can be ported back to U-Boot.
