I'm honestly not sure.  There are data sheets for both of them, but I don't see 
much of a difference

    http://www.issi.com/WW/pdf/IS25LP(WP)256D.pdf
    http://www.issi.com/WW/pdf/25LP-WP256.pdf

Following the pattern, I'd expect to see

        { "is25wp256",  INFO(0x9d7019, 0, 64 * 1024, 512,
                        SECT_4K | SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ | SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ) },

versus

        { "is25wp256d", INFO(0x9d7019, 0, 32 * 1024, 1024,
                        SECT_4K | SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ | SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ | SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES)
        },

So in other words: the d less sections that are larger, and also has the 4B 
opcodes flag set.  From the documentation in looks like the non-d version 
supports 3 and 4 byte opcodes, so I guess it's just a different physical 
layout?

In the data sheet for both I see

    "Pages can be erased in groups of 4Kbyte sectors, 32Kbyte blocks, 64Kbyte 
    blocks, and/or the entire chip"

which indicates to me that maybe we've just selected the larger section size?  If 
so then I'll change it to the first one in the new patch.

Nope.  I'll spin a v2 pending the above discussion.

Thanks!
