Can you read more bytes of manufacturer ID and dump them?

I'm not sure how to do this, but from what I can gather, flash chips that implement manufacturer ID continuation codes return >3 bytes in response to RDID. Is this correct?

To do this, in tools/spi/spidex_fdx.c I set buf[0] = 0x9F, and then executed this with a large recvbuf:

$ sudo ./a.out -m 6 /dev/spidev0.0
/dev/spidev0.0: spi mode 0x0, 8 bits per word, 10000000 Hz max
response( 6, 7): 25 70 18 25 70 18

It looks like the 3-byte response has cycled, suggesting this flash chip does not implement continuation codes.

If the flash does not define the continuation codes, we'll need to
add this flash in a ID collisions driver.

I will do this in v3.
