The number of dummy cycles used during Fast Read commands can be reduced to improve transfer performances. Each manufacturer has a dedicated set of registers to provide the memory with the exact number of dummy cycles it should expect. Both the memory and the (Q)SPI controller must agree on this number of dummy cycles. The number of dummy cycles can be found into the memory datasheet and mostly depends on the SPI clock frequency, the Fast Read op code and the Single/Dual Data Rate mode. Probing JEDEC Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) tables would only provide the driver with a high enough number of dummy cycles for each Fast Read command to be used for all clock frequencies: this solution would not be optimized.
