SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Added flag check for quad io protocol for micron flash parts
Hi Anurag,

We're struggling with the same issue, our Cadence QSPI controller *does*
handle four-line command, address, and data, but has to be configured
for it. The setting of quad-io-protocol mode in micron_quad_enable is
really jacking up our code. We have to snoop the command stream and
configure the controller as soon as we see the quad-io-protocol command
go to the Micron chip. Ugly.

I'd like to point out that this flag is also dependent upon the
particular controller in use, not just the Micron chip. In fact, it may
be more of a controller thing than a chip thing.

Maybe this flag should actually be an enum read_mode value, and passed
into spi_nor_scan by the controller?

Thanks,
Graham
