[PATCH v3 0/8] Add the Quadspi driver for vf610-twr

Hi Mark, Shijie,
quoted
The LUT registers needs to be filled with the SPI NOR command, such
Fast-read/Quad-read.
So the Quadspi driver needs to know the spi commands, and that's why the
SPI driver has
references to the spi command opcodes.
Indeed - what I was wondering was if those opcodes could be requested
from the flash driver rather than coded in there.
As the talk is going in SPI framework direction, therefore requesting again..
please do not clutter the *generic* SPI framework to pass on opcodes from
flash-driver (like m25p80). (Q)SPI framework should remain generic and
independent of any upper layer drivers.
Therefore I proposed DT based approach, as an alternative.

But as Shijie's patches are centric to FSL use-case and qspi-controller,
so I cannot pursue my suggestions further.
 The driver needs to
write the commands to the device but it's not clear to me if it really
needs to know the specific commands.
with regards, pekon
