Hi Bean,
I tested with flash N25Q128A again. In fact, It must output "Micron EVCR Quad bit not clear" in spi-nor.c, if the status register write enable/disable bit is set.
Could you give some suggestions about this ? Thanks Yunhui

Hi, Yunhai You mean that EVCR.bit7 cannot clear(enable quad mode) if not write SR.bit7 to 0? They don't have any connection each other.
