Well, if you mean me I'm getting CCed on such a large number of large threads about MTD patches that only have relevance to SPI in that they're for a driver that uses SPI that I pretty delete a very large proportion of mail that looks like it's about MTD patch unread I'm afraid. It's almost all completely irrelevant and uninteresting to me.

Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits IDs and issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access. I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about making things a bit easier to read.

Someone will need to tell me what the actual problem is for m25p80 before I can understand what the way forward might be. From a brief scan through of the thread it looks like if Javier's series solves the problem it needs a bit more analysis and/or a clearer presentation and probably a resubmit.
