The command 0x00 is used by this model since its origin (commit
05ee37ebf6). In this commit the command is described with a
amusing '/* ??? */' comment, probably meaning 'FIXME'.
switch (cmd) {
case 0x00: /* ??? */
...
This comment survived 12 years because the 0x00 value is indeed
not specified by the CFI open standard (as of this commit).
The 'cmd' field is transfered during migration. To keep the
migration feature working with older QEMU version, we have to
take a lot of care with migrated field. We figured out it is
too late to remove a non-specified value from this model
(this would make migration review very complex). It is however
not too late to improve the documentation.
Add few comments to remember this is a special value related
to QEMU, and we won't find information about it on the CFI
spec.
