Both the SPI controller and the NOR flash memory need to agree on the
number of dummy cycles to use for Fast Read commands. For Spansion
memories, this number of dummy cycles is not given directly but through a
so called "latency code".
The latency code can be found into the memory datasheet and depends on the
SPI clock frequency, the Fast Read op code and the Single/Dual Data Rate
mode.

Shouldn't you be able to derive the latency code from the above information,
which you already know then ?

Yes I agree with you; this could have been done adding static tables inside the
driver instead of creating a new DT property dedicated to Spansion memories.

When I wrote this patch, I had a close look at the s25fl512s datasheet but only
overviewed few datasheets for other Spansion QSPI flash memories. So I don't
know whether a single latency code table could be shared among all Spansion
memories or many tables should be added to support different memory models.

That's why I've chosen to add a dedicated DT property to support Spansion
memories as it avoids to add tables to guess the proper latency code to be
used. I thought it would be more flexible.

Maybe I will remove the support of Spansion QSPI memories from this series for
now. Their support can still be implemented later.

Anyway, thanks for your review :)
