Hi Vignesh,

U-Boot SPI NOR support (sf layer) is quite outdated as it does not
support 4 byte addressing opcodes, SFDP table parsing and different types of
quad mode enable sequences. Many newer flashes no longer support BANK
registers used by sf layer to a access >16MB space.
Also, many SPI controllers have special MMIO interfaces which provide
accelerated read/write access but require knowledge of flash parameters
to make use of it. Recent spi-mem layer provides a way to support such
flashes but sf layer isn't using that.
This patch series syncs SPI NOR framework from Linux v4.19. It also adds
spi-mem support on top.
So, we gain 4byte addressing support and SFDP support. This makes
migrating to U-Boot MTD framework easier.
Tested with few Spansion, micron and macronix flashes with TI's dra7xx,
k2g, am43xx EVMs. I dont have access to flashes from other vendors. So,
I would greatly appreciate testing on other platforms. Complete series
with dependencies here[1]
For clean build on some platforms, depends on CONFIG_SPI_FLASH migration
to defconfigs [2]

Simon, Stefan, Thanks for testing previous versions.
I haven't carried Tested-by's here as I have added back SPI_FLASH_BAR
support (but isn't enabled by default). Would be great if you could
retest this series.
I am hoping there won't be any major rework/changes after this round.
I just tested this new patchset on my LinkIt Smart 7688 board with the
4-byte strapped SPI NOR mx25l25635e device and it works without any
issues. So feel free to add my T-b tag to this series:
Tested-by: Stefan Roese <s...@denx.de>
Thanks,
Stefan
