ok that's fixed, thank you. sorry for being so picky, but i noticed
that the phrasing in your comments for identical features changes a lot.

for the high voltage mode we have:
/* 12 V fast program mode */
/* 5.0V +-10% read, 12V fast program & erase- +-5% standard, +-10% option */
(that dash should be a comma above btw?)
/* Also offers a 12V fast program */
/* Also has 12V fast program & erase */

and for the ranges that are different in one speed grade we have:
/* x speed is +-5%, all others +-10% */
* x speed is 3.0-3.6V, others 2.7-3.6V */
/* 3.0-3.6V (x), 2.7-3.6V for others */

and for datasheets that define two ranges without giving any indication
how to the chips can be distinguished we have:
/* Datasheet says 2.5-3.6 V or 2.7-3.6 V */
/* Datasheet says there's a 2.3-3.6V & 2.7-3.6V model */
/* Datasheet says some are only 4.75-5.25 V */ (not sure if this is a speed grade case or belongs in this section)

it would be good if those are unified so that it is easier to find them
later, for example when we have a new feature flag or field that
indicates a property directly in code instead of comments.
the exact phrasing is not important as long as it is understandable for
developers, but they should be equal (apart from the concrete values).
this of course applies to past and future changes too.

I believe I've adjusted the phrasings so there's one style for each comment type.
The only issue I've come across is the Intel 28F002BC/BL/BV/BX-T.
From my reading of the datasheets, the later two are compatible with each other voltage-wise, but the BC and BL versions are definitely not- they have non-overlapping ranges for reading.

Any thoughts?
