No, it describes what kind of thing this is.  "cfi" and "jedec"
don't say much: "cfi" could equally well mean the "cute friendly imp",
and who knows what kind of JEDEC-interface device this is supposed
to indicate.  "cfi-flash" and "jedec-flash" on the other hand are
sufficiently clear, even if they aren't completely specific; this
is a very common device so some leeway is in order.
