Once the Quad SPI mode has been enabled on a Micron flash memory, this
device expects ALL the following commands to use the SPI 4-4-4 protocol.
The (Q)SPI controller needs to be notified about the protocol change so it
can adapt and keep on dialoging with the Micron memory.

Hi!

Can you please just reword this a little, so that it is absolutelly clear
even to the less bright of us (like me) that this is a notification coming
from the upper layers (ie. the spi-nor framework) toward the hardware ?

Sure, no problem! what about the following?

/*
 * Let the spi-nor framework notify lower layers, especially the driver of the
 * (Q)SPI controller, about the new protocol to be used. Indeed, once the
 * spi-nor framework has sent manufacturer specific commands to a memory to
 * enable its Quad SPI mode, it should immediately after tell the QSPI
 * controller to use the very same Quad SPI protocol as expected by the memory.
