How about we add a non_jedec flag in platform_data, if the flag is 1, we
let the detection pass even though the ID is 0? Otherwise, we need a
valid ID?
Here i mean:
This will break at least OF-enabled platforms (e.g. PowerPC),
they assume that the driver will success for non-JEDEC flashes.
OF platforms don't pass platform data, and even if they did,
device tree doesn't specify if the flash is JEDEC or non-JEDEC.

Which is why I think that, by default, the driver should
successfully register the flash even if JEDEC probe fails. So,
instead of checking for "!non_jedec", I would recommend
"force_jedec" check.
