Mh, so now some callback functions are in the core like the quad enable
methods and some are in sfdp.c. I think there should be only the parsing
in sfdp.c and all the callback methods should be in core.c; as they are
potentially used by the vendor modules.

I was wondering why this is encoded as single bits and not as an
enumeration. To me it looks like it is intended to support
different methods at the same time. Thus I think there might be
multiple bits set in each entry and exit mask at once. The spec
lists all the entries as x_xxx1, x_xx1x, ..

+ case BFPT_DWORD16_4B_ADDR_MODE_BRWR:
.. then this will only match if exactly these two bits are set.

Shouldn't this be getting a neutral name? The quad_enable methods
were renamed once, too.
