I'm reading the following datasheet:
https://www.winbond.com/resource-files/w25q64jv%20revj%2003272018%20plus.pdf

w25q64jvm (0xef7017) comes with QE bit set to a 0 state, but can be
set to 1, so Quad mode can be supported. Would you please set SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ
and SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ flags and test and see if Quad works? If all good,
please specify in the commit message with which controller you did the tests.

Are these tags really necessary? Would you drop them?

I would name it "w25q64jvm". Check "11.ORDERING INFORMATION". Although the
datasheet refers to these flashes as "W25Q64JV-IQ/JQ" and "W25Q64JV-IM/JM",
I find that the temperature range is not a differentiator in the flash ID,
so I would drop it.

Cheers,
