@Simon:

Can we move the sandbox documentation to doc/board/. This is where all 
other architectures are described. I has a hard time finding that 
backing file is spi.bin for this functionality.

The sandbox driver should properly detect the SPI size.

$ truncate -s 8M spi.bin
=> sf probe
SF: Detected m25p16 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 64 KiB, total 2 MiB

$ truncate -s 1M spi.bin
=> sf probe
SF: Detected m25p16 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 64 KiB, total 2 MiB
