Is the datasheet for these chips public? I see JESD216 says nothing
about flash banks.

I'm wondering whether we should keep the n_sectors as the total number 
of sectors per flash or not. Does this flash type support Software Block
Protection? How do they count the sectors on Block Protection, per flash
or per bank?

We can try u8 nbanks for now. And we would define it here, to avoid
struct padding.

you need to update S3AN_INFO as well.
