So F7 (without continuation codes) is ZMD. Fudan Micro is 7F 7F 7F
7F 7F 7F 7F A1 or if you (wrongly) ignore the continuation codes A1.

That's also what's described in the datasheet, mentioned below. Do
you really have a Fudan Micro flash?

Do you use the latest kernel? Doesn't the flash provide SFDP? I've
looked at [1] (there is none for the 256Mbit variant) and that one
supports SFDP.
