If I remember correctly this flash has SFDP support. If so, we may be
able to get rid of the "NO_SFDP_FLAGS(SECT_4K | SPI_NOR_DUAL_READ)". You
can check whether the flash defines the SFDP tables or not by dumping
the sfdp sysfs entry. Check the link from below on how to do that.

Also the sector size and nsectors should be superfluous if the SFDP
tables are present.

So I'd try:

{ "sst26vf016b", INFO(0xbf2641, 0, 0, 0)
		PARSE_SFDP
		FLAGS(SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK | SPI_NOR_SWP_IS_VOLATILE)
		.fixups = &sst26vf_nor_fixups },

We ask people that update or add new flash entries to do an erase,
verify erase, write, read back and compare test. Also to dump the sysfs
entries. Here's how to do that:
