[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: add support for Fudan Microelectronics FM25Q256

From: Cole Leavitt

Date: Sat Feb 14 2026 - 01:22:40 EST


Add support for the Fudan Microelectronics FM25Q256 (JEDEC ID f7 f0 30),
a 256Mbit (32MB) SPI NOR flash chip. This chip is found on Lenovo
ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 (Arrow Lake-S) platforms as the SPI flash backing
the UEFI firmware.

The chip supports 4K sector erase, dual read, and quad read modes.

Without this patch, the kernel's spi-nor driver reports:
spi-nor spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: f7 f0 30
and refuses to create an MTD device, preventing userspace tools from
accessing the flash.
