Yes!

Unfortunately no. And this is exactly the trigger for this patch:
one can get "secure" parts from Micron even though these "features" are not
required.

Some people ask themselves why this table keeps growing if there is SFDP...
I see the point in fixups, but maybe at some point we will be able to support
some devices just out of the box?

This "security addendum" where one need NDA just says "73h = Secure".
There is no explanation for it and no other variants.
I'd really suggest to try to autodetect whatever features are going to be
supported from this chip and only duplicate the entry if this auto-detection
fails.
