Is it specific to a particular ISSI part as indicated here[1]? If so,
please submit solution agreed there i.e. use spi_nor_fixups callback

If this affects multiple ISSI parts then:
Instead of checking for mfr code, look for SNOR_F_4B_OPCODES flag in
flash_info struct of the device and let it take precedence over SFDP in
case size is over 16MB
