This actually do the former instead of the latter. Maybe the function
names are a bit
misleading. spinand_manufacturer_match iterates over all manufacturers
in one call,
and spinand_manufacturer_detect is called once in spinand_detect.
Do you have suggestions on function naming?

Wow. I never thought of this cool trick. I'll give it a try.
