When flashrom JEDEC code sends the ID command to the chip, it expects to

see IDs in the default flash location. However, sometimes the chip does
not react to the ID command, either because it doesn't understand the
command or because the command never reached it.
One way to detect this is to compare ID output with flash chip contents
for the same location. If they are identical, there is a high chance
you're not actually seeing ID output. Warn the user in that case.

This patch helps a lot when a chip is not recognized and we want to
check if the probe responses are real IDs or just random flash chip
contents.

This should probably be added to all probe functions, but probe_jedec is
called for all sizes and thus flashrom will check this condition at
least once per size, making sure we can cross-match the warning.
