The 25 comes from the *25* in most SPI flash chip model names.
that much was clear... but i have the feeling that not all semiconductor firms have decided to use that number just coincidently ;)
Yes, *45* is also somewhat common. However, *25* is most common, so it won. ;-) See the second-to-last paragraph of http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-March/002466.html for a list of common numbers in flash chip names. (I should really wikify that.)
