I would say buggy drivers need to be fixed. It's complicated to handle all possible bugs a driver may have in the common code.
If you prefer we can put a limit to the tries the code make, but this can also impact working drivers by not trying enough. I'm open to suggestions.

This does not solve any real world problem I had. I had to look at the JEDEC standard and I made this in order to test something. So I thought this could be useful to others, as the current code does not fully implement the standard.

Sure.

Yes, that's better.

Good idea.

I agree, this is easier to read.
Thanks for the review!
