RE: [PATCH v2 4/4] spi: cadence-quadspi: use STIG mode for small reads

Hi Dhruva,

The patch described below was able to avoid this problem.
However, we could not find any material to determine if it was correct.


Dear all,

Is there anyone else in a similar environment?


```
diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-cadence-quadspi.c b/drivers/spi/spi-cadence-quadspi.c
index 8f36e1306e16..4a9535e6c86a 100644

+++ b/drivers/spi/spi-cadence-quadspi.c
@@ -1365,7 +1365,9 @@ static int cqspi_mem_process(struct spi_mem *mem, const struct spi_mem_op *op)
* reads, prefer STIG mode for such small reads.
*/
if (!op->addr.nbytes ||
- op->data.nbytes <= CQSPI_STIG_DATA_LEN_MAX)
+ (op->data.nbytes <= CQSPI_STIG_DATA_LEN_MAX &&
+ !of_device_is_compatible(cqspi->pdev->dev.of_node,
+ "intel,socfpga-qspi")))
return cqspi_command_read(f_pdata, op);

return cqspi_read(f_pdata, op);
```

Thanks and Regards,
