As carldani told in IRC, there is a success report with the A29002B.
This test used a 11-bit erase function (0x555/0x2AA) and a 15 bit probe
and a 15 bit write function (0x5555/0x2AAA). As it worked, this chip is
for sure 11-bits-needed, higher-bits-don't care.

This chip also uses probe_29f002 (15 bits)/erase_29f002 (11 bits).
Currently it is declared as probe/read successful; erase/write never was
marked successful in svn since the chip got introduced in r366. As the
data sheet specifies the 11-bit addresses and the 15-bit probe worked,
it is very probable that all address bits starting at A11 are (as usual
for 11 bit chips) don't care.
