Yes, but do different mx25uw51245g chips have different dummy cycle
requirements? Shouldn't all the chips with the same ID have same
performance?

This is a fixup hook for mx25uw51245g, so you should already know how
many cycles are needed for this specific device. Is there any need for
generic code here?
