NACK. You can't assume the device is still in 1S-1S-1S mode after probe. 
For example, the s28hs512t flash is switched to 8D-8D-8D mode by the 
time the probe finishes so this would be an invalid command. Same for 
any flash that goes into a stateful mode.

And you can't even keep using nor->read_proto to read SFDP because the 
Read SFDP command might not be supported in all modes. xSPI spec 
(JESD251) says that the Read SFDP command is optional in 8D-8D-8D mode. 

I think the best approach for this would be to cache the entire SFDP 
table at parse time. This obviously comes with a memory overhead but I 
don't think it would be too big. For example, the sfdp table on 
s28hs512t is 491 bytes and it has 6 tables. Anyway, if the memory usage 
is too much of a problem we can put the feature behind a config.
