I suspect "detect" is a misnomer there. It only "detects" JEDEC chips.
All others got explicit declarations ... so if there's misbehavior for
other chips, it's because those declarations were poorly handled. Maybe
they were not properly flagged as non-JDEC

I'd rather keep the warning, so there's a clue about what's really
going on: JEDEC chip found, but its ID is not handled.

Anonymous inlined structures ... kind of ugly, but I can
understand why you might not want to declare and name a
few dozen single-use structures.

At this point I wonder why you're not changing the probe sequence
more. Get "id" and then "id" here. If it's for "m25p80" assume
it's an old-style board init and do the current logic. Else just
verify "info".
There's a new error case of course: new-style but data->type
doesn't match id->name.

Better: "if (info == NULL) ..." You've got all the pointers
in hand; don't use indices.

Again, don't use indices except during the lookup.
