All solid state devices have vendor id defined by JEDEC specification JEP106,
which originally allocated only 7 bits for it plus parity. When number of
vendors exploded beyond 126, a banking proposition came maintaining
compatibility with older vendors while allowing for 4 extra bits (16 banks)
through the introduction of the concept "Continuation code", denoted by the
byte value of 0x7f.
Examples:
0xfe, 0x60, 0x18, 0x00, 0x00 => vendor 0xfe of bank o
0x7f, 0x7f, 0xfe, 0x60, 0x18 => vendor 0xfe of bank 2
