  Sorry, I will keep this in mind.

     After check some other Gigadevice memories, I found it's true as 
you mentioned.
Some memories use S9 as the QE bit, but some use S6.
     Do you have some ideas for this case? Add a check for the full 
jedec_id or encode
the QE bit in the flash_info?
     I am a new bee in the flash failed, very appreciate for your advice.
