Nope, you cannot have two drivers for the same IP (i.e Cadence QSPI)
just to support to different types of SPI memories. This is the reason
why spi_mem_ops was introduced.

Please rewrite this driver over to use spi_mem_ops (instead of using
generic SPI xfers) so that same driver supports both SPI-NOR and
SPI-NAND flashes. Once that's done drivers/mtd/spi-nor/cadence-quadspi.c
can be deleted.

There are few existing examples of spi_mem_ops users in drivers/spi/
(git grep spi_mem_ops) and materials here on how to write such a driver:

As per Mark Brown and your suggestion,  I have started adapting
cadence-qaudspi driver with spi_mem_ops framework to work
QSPI-NAND/NOR as a generic driver(completely removed the legacy
SPI-XFERS),  is in progress on Intel LGM SoC.
QSPI-IP on Intel LGM  do not have DMA  support and also not part of QSPI
IP, so couldn't able to validate DMA related.
will adapt the DMA things which are existing in cadence-quadspi.c as it is.


Great, appreciate the effort!


currently TI and Altera SoC's use this Cadence-qspi IP , both are not
using DMA as per my understanding (correct me if it is wrong).
confirmed through device tree entry.


TI platforms use DMA to read data from flash in memory mapped mode
(direct access controller) using mem-to-mem DMA channels. Mem-to-mem DMA
channels are requested as and when needed and are not part of DT
description (as they are not bound to a device)

yes, understood now, Thanks!

what is your opinion on DMA related stuff?

Not having DMA support would be a regression. Please keep the DAC + DMA
part as is. I can help you will all the DMA related testing...
Sure, will keep DAC + DMA, as we discussed earlier use QUIRKS to 
differentiate and follow the same.

Agreed!, Surely let me go through the above link and put my effort to 
rewrite the drivers as per your suggestions.
