Support for unlocking Winbond flash had been originally added in c6fc217 ("mtd: spi-nor: disable protection for Winbond flash at startup"), but was reverted in 67b9bcd ("mtd: spi-nor: fix Spansion regressions (aliased with Winbond)"), as some Spansion chips using the Winbond manufacturer ID weren't working correctly with it.
The actual issue has been fixed meanwhile in 32321e9 ("mtd: spi-nor: wait until lock/unlock operations are ready") and edf891e ("mtd: spi-nor: wait for SR_WIP to clear on initial unlock"). After this fix, the Winbond flash can be unlocked without causing havoc for Spansion chips. We have verified that everything is working correctly on some Winbond chips (like the w25q64, which is aliased with the Spansion s25fl064k) and Spansion chips. As an additional test, I also tried enabling the initial unlocking code for the Spansion manufacturer ID. All tested Spansion flash chips showed the same behaviour: without 32321e9 and edf891e, subsequent reads only returned zeros (as reported by Felix Fietkau, leading to 67b9bcd), but with 32321e9 and edf891e, the chip continued to work correctly.
