No, I'm not sure. I also don't know about other changes that may come 
with a version update: will it have 4B opcode table? will it be 
different version again (say KV) with it's own quirks? Fix only what 
needs fixing was the idea. But I guess chances of new chip with no 4B 
opcodes and new SFDP table are pretty slim, so I'm OK with having >= in v2.

FV chip that I have, do actually have SFDP tables (with 
minor_version==0). I've saw Chuanhong reporting that some FV chips don't 
have SFDP, but certainly this is not the case for all of them.
