Hi Lukasz,

If your controller reads garbage then spi_nor_parse_sfdp() fails and exists on the
very first check: signature of the SFDP header. Hence everything should already go on
as if the SPI_NOR_SKIP_SFDP flag is set.

So this patch doesn't change anything for your controller but prevents other controller
from using QSPI protocols like SPI 1-4-4.

This patch introduces a regression for other chips.

Best regards,

Cyrille
