Thank you for that detail, I see that my router does have a serial
number that meets that pattern, I'll update the wiki with this
information.

I could patch it as planned, however as far as I can tell this file
contains a large table of flash chip identifiers. Is there a reason I
wouldn't want to create a new single patch that updates the entire
"static const struct spi_device_id spi_nor_ids[]" table? This would
also consoldiate the table updates out of the following patches.

target/linux/ar71xx/patches-3.18/414-mtd-gd25q128-support.patch
target/linux/generic/patches-3.18/474-mtd-spi-nor-add-support-for-the-ISSI-SI25CD512-SPI-f.patch
target/linux/generic/patches-3.18/462-m25p80-mx-disable-software-protection.patch
target/linux/generic/patches-3.18/472-mtd-m25p80-add-support-for-Winbond-W25X05-flash.patch
target/linux/generic/patches-3.18/473-mtd-spi-nor-add-support-for-the-Macronix-MX25L512E-S.patch
target/linux/bcm53xx/patches-3.18/004-mtd-spi-nor-from-3.20.patch
target/linux/bcm53xx/patches-3.18/003-mtd-spi-nor-from-3.19.patch

I could create the new single patch for both trunk and 15.05.1 and
bring these updates into a single place under target/linux/generic.

Please let me know if this makes sense or if I'm better off limiting
the scope as originally described? I'm aware that there are non-table
updates on the other patches, I'll leave those parts alone.
