I've added the N25Q128 IDs but didn't bother with the 256 Mbit part (not
needed for this system).

So this should be fixed in Debian 7.2.

Comments/Problems:

I followed the instructions for installing Debian wheezy on the QNAP
TS-212 at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-219/install/.
The installation failed at the last step, installing the kernel to the
flash. I contacted Martin directly for help, and we (mostly he)
concluded that the wheezy kernel does not have support for the flash
chip in this particular model.

The relevant line from the installer syslog

  Jun 25 15:35:14 kernel: [8.570234] m25p80 spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id 
20ba18

shows that the wheezy kernel cannot read the flash. This results in the
later error that terminates the install

  Jun 25 16:14:58 in-target: update-initramfs: Generating 
/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-kirkwood
  Jun 25 16:15:06 in-target: flash-kernel: installing version 3.2.0-4-kirkwood
  Jun 25 16:15:07 in-target: Cannot find mtd partition 'Kernel'
  Jun 25 16:15:07 flash-kernel-installer: error: flash-kernel failed

I see that support for this flash ID has been added in to the kernel as
of 3.7. I plan to test one of the daily d-i images next with the jessie
3.9 kernel to verify that the problem is fixed there and that I can do a
complete install on the TS-212.

This ID was added in:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c?id=98a9e2450667e497246449f96eab06eb3fb4d24b

which depends on:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c?id=3105875f6b8902628caee2fd7821af43707c6bde
and

The other problem is that arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/tsx1x-common.c
contains:

static const struct flash_platform_data qnap_tsx1x_flash = {
.type   = "m25p128",
.name   = "spi_flash",
.parts  = qnap_tsx1x_partitions,
.nr_parts   = ARRAY_SIZE(qnap_tsx1x_partitions),
};

I'm not sure if .type is optional or if we have to create another
flash_platform_data structure and initialize both (and then one will
fail).  Ben, do you know what the best solution would be for this?

My reading of the m25p_probe() function is that if the named chip has a
JEDEC ID, and the chip it finds has a different JEDEC ID that's also in
the device ID table, it will then automatically adapt (but will warn).

So long as the same partition map is used for the two chips, I think the
platform code should just probe once as now, though the warning is
annoying.  It seems like there ought to be a way to tell m25p80 to
auto-detect and warn only if the size doesn't match the partition map.

Ben.

FWIW, I successfully installed on this QNAP using a daily installer [1]
running 3.9-1-kirkwood. Here is the dmesg snippet probing the flash,
looks exactly like what you describe:
