SubjectRE: [V5 PATCH 1/1] driver:mtd:spi-nor: Add quad I/O support for Micron spi nor
Date
>First of all, can you fix your mail so that you have a proper 'From'?
>That should be your real name (not bpqw), so that it gives a proper patch author.
>If you can't get your mail header to have the right 'From:' line, then it also works to begin your mail with:

Sorry for this confusion. This bpqw email is our software public mailbox dedicated to submit linux patch.
Because our personal email title include Chinese name, this will result to messy code in from item.
I have ever submit one patch many times by my personal mail, but I always didn't accept maintainer's response.
So I think, maybe my patch with Chinese name has been moved into maintainer's junk folder.

I don't know my mail from-field with Chinese name can or not be accepted, if can,
I will submit next version patch by my personal mail.

>> This patch adds code which enables Quad I/O mode on Micron SPI NOR flashes.
>>
>> For Micron SPI NOR flash,enabling or disabling quad I/O protocol is
>> controlled by EVCR (Enhanced Volatile Configuration Register), Quad I/O protocol bit 7.
>> When EVCR bit 7 is reset to 0,the SPI NOR flash will operate in quad I/O mode.

>What's the difference between using EVCR and the ENTER QUAD I/O MODE
>(35h) command I see in some of your datasheets? Are both supported on all Micron quad I/O SPI NOR flash?

There is no difference between using EVCR and the ENTER QUAD I/O MODE command.
But, for some Micron spi nor, there no ENTER Quad I/O command(35h),such as n25q064.
for all current Micron spi nor, if it support quad I/O mode, Using EVCR definitely be supported.
So, we recommend that enable QUAD I/O mode by writing ECVR.


>Also, which SPI NOR is this enabled for? I don't see any Micron entries in spi_nor_ids[] which contain the SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ flag.

Yes, we now don't see any Micron entries in spi_nor_ids[] which contain the SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ flag.
But Micron spi nor in spi_nor_ids[] all support Quad I/O mode. maybe customer want to use default mode(extended I/O mode),
When submitted relevant patch, they didn't SPI_NOR_QUAD_READ flag in the spi_nor_ids[].
This patch is just for wanting to enable Micron Quad I/O mode.

OK,I will rebase it and sumbit a new version. Thanks for your suggestion.

Will be fixed it in the next version.

OK, will be fixed it.

All in all ,thanks for your response and valuable suggestions.
I will rebuild a new version, and submit it .
