Re: [RFC] spi-nor: fix cross die reads on Micron multi-die devices

[Adam Somerville]

Hi,

Thanks for looking at the this.

I can rewrite so it only affects N25Q devices, I hoped a simpler
implementation would outweigh the small overhead incurred on non
affected devices.

Do you know if there are any plans for MT25* based multi-die devices
and if they would have the same issue?

Thanks,

Adam
