[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: sfdp: Increase SFDP data size limit to 16 KiB

[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: sfdp: Increase SFDP data size limit to 16 KiB

[Takahiro Kuwano via B4 Relay]

From: Takahiro Kuwano <takahiro.kuwano@infineon.com>

The size of SFDP data read and cached is limited to avoid allocating
too much memory. The current limit is PAGE_SIZE, but the Spansion S25FS256S
has parameter tables at offsets beyond 4 KiB.

Increase the limit to 16 KiB to support such devices by introducing the
SFDP_MAX_SIZE macro.
