You know what? I'll go get some sleep, coffee doesn't cut it anymore :)

Yep, that's all right, sorry for the confusion.

Maybe change this to "setting the number of dummy cycles not supported by chip, 
ignoring" or something, to be explicit about the fallback and that this is not
supported by the chip. But this is just an idea, feel free to ignore it.

Actually, this is what the patch does: spi_nor_read_dummy_cycles() was reused
and enhanced few lines below where you've pointed out the 
"switch (nor->flash_read)" block should be move after the else block.

I think when I wrote the code I've chosen to move the definition of this
function instead of adding forward declarations of functions such as read_cr()
or write_sr_cr(), which are now called by micron_set_dummy_cycles().

You can probably just soup up this function so that it sets the
nor->read_dummy, no ?

If you do have m25p,num-dummy-cycles set for non-micron flash, you have a

The solution would be to drop this else {} bit here, so that if you fail in
the DT-based configuration, you fall back to this old behavior. What do you 
think please ? :)

[PATCH linux-next v4 3/5] mtd: spi-nor: allow to tune the number of dummy cycles

2015-08-24 Thread Cyrille Pitchen
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.
