For instance:
https://www.micron.com/products/nor-flash/serial-nor-flash/part-catalog/mt25qu256aba1ew7-0sit
https://media-www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/documents/products/data-sheet/nor-flash/serial-nor/mt25q/die-rev-a/mt25q_qljs_u_256_aba_0.pdf?rev=594079234c1b496496b062c21ce162d6

https://www.micron.com/products/nor-flash/serial-nor-flash/part-catalog/mt25qu256aba8e12-1sit
https://media-www.micron.com/-/media/client/global/documents/products/data-sheet/nor-flash/serial-nor/mt25q/die-rev-a/mt25q_qljs_u_256_aba_0.pdf?rev=594079234c1b496496b062c21ce162d6

But the differences are in "MT25Q Security Addendum":
"The additional protection features available on the secure MT25Q device include a
lock status register bit, top/bottom block address protection lock, volatile
configuration lock register at power up, protection management register lock,
and a nonvolatile configuration lock register."
This is only available under NDA from Micron.

However as long as one doesn't use these security features, it appears compatible with
non-secure version. That's why just ignoring the non-standard configuration allows
to support it.

(But last 3 do not make sense to me, as they come from the table I modify,
not from the chip itself). Further, I don't have 512Mbit chip to provide
SFDP for it.
