This was when working on mainline U-Boot for the PineTab2 (and other
rk356x devices). See [1] for a pending U-Boot patch that is waiting on a
proper mainline linux devicetree for the PT2.

The JEDEC ID is reported as 0x257018 on my v2.0 production unit, and
does not match the JEDEC ID for GD25LQ128E (0xc86018) referenced in
the schematics.

I found that the JEDEC ID 0x257018 was referenced in prior patches
related to the SK25LP128 SPI NOR flash chip used in Pine64 PinePhone Pro.

I have only ever tested the 24 MHz rate, but I am expecting that e.g.
100 MHz also should work. Will not be able to test on my PT2 until at
earliest next week.
