With this patch in place, qemu emulations with is25wp256 fail to
instantiate the flash. Specifically, this affects the qemu sifive_u
emulation. The resulting error message is:

spi-nor spi0.0: BFPT parsing failed. Please consider using
SPI_NOR_SKIP_SFDP when declaring the flash
spi-nor: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -22

qemu is to blame here. It doesn't fully emulate the flash. Esp. not
the SFDP tables. See also [1]. Adding the .sfdp_read hook with the
corresponding binary [2] should fix your issue.
