Hi Christopher,
This means that Macronix reuses chip IDs for multiple chips with different capabilities (hence why there are multiple chip entries). It's very frustrating. I recommend avoiding Macronix and using a different flash chip vendor if you can.

Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "MX25L6405", "MX25L6405D", "MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E", "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E/MX25L6473F"
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option`
