Hi Vignesh,

Thank you very much for the review comments...

Note from Vignesh(mtd subsystem maintainer):H
This series is a subset of "[PATCH v12 0/4] spi: cadence-quadspi: Add
support for the Cadence QSPI controller" by Ramuthevar,Vadivel MuruganX
<vadivel.muruganx.ramuthevar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> that intended to move
cadence-quadspi driver to spi-mem framework

Those patches were trying to accomplish too many things in a single set
of patches and need to split into smaller patches. This is reduced
version of above series.

Changes that are intended to make migration easy are split into separate
patches. Patches 1 to 3 drop features that cannot be supported under
spi-mem at the moment (backward compatibility is maintained).
Patch 4-5 are trivial cleanups. Patch 6 does the actual conversion to
spi-mem and patch 7 moves the driver to drivers/spi folder.

I have tested both INDAC mode (used by non TI platforms like Altera
SoCFPGA) and DAC mode (used by TI platforms) on TI EVMs.

Patches to move move bindings over to
"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/" directory and also conversion
of bindig doc to YAML will be posted separately. Support for Intel
platform would follow that.

v8:
- As Mark suggested to add the dt-bindings documentation patches
end of the series , so dropped.

Suggestion was to drop patches converting legacy binding doc to YAML schema.
You still need to include a patch documenting new compatible
"intel,lgm-qspi" in the existing (legacy) binding doc.
Noted, will do that.

Vadivel
