It's pretty much the same as the datasheet I used
http://www.elm-tech.com/en/products/spi-flash-memory/gd25q41/gd25q41.pdf

It mentions both
32KB Block Erase (BE) (52H)
and
64KB Block Erase (BE) (D8H)

So the chip probably tries its best to be compatible with any command
set and this last patch is not needed. The memory organization table
on page 7 is not all that reassuring, though.

Thanks

Michal
