These flash chips are capable of high frequency, but due to poor board design or manufacture process. We are seeing the following errors in the linux kernel bootup: `spi-nor spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: cc 60 1c cc 60 1c spi-nor: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -2` This causes the partitions not to be detected `VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6` Then creates a bootloop and a bricked router. The solution to limit this race condition is to reduce the frequency from 80 mhz to 50 mhz.
