Thanks for the clarification, Please kindly see the below discussion b/w Vignesh and Dinh in the earlier mail chain.
[Vignesh] The legacy driver under drivers/mtd/spi-nor will be removed as we cannot support both SPI NOR and SPI NAND with single driver if its under spi-nor. New driver should be functionally equivalent to existing one. So I suggest you test this driver on legcay SoCFPGA products.
[Dinh] I don't have the original patch series, but will monitor going forward. As long as the new driver does not break legacy SoCFPGA products that use the cadence-quadspi driver then it should be ok.
Regards vadivel
