Comment:

 And what would you plan to do with this if implemented?

 Without some plausible need, why should we bother?  What do you have in
 mind?

 You need to "make the case".

 And it is far from clear to me that this is wise: the useful information
 in the SPI flash should be brought out to /sys kinds of places, so that in
 future generations, applications written depending on information in the
 flash do not break.
