[PATCH v3 02/15] mtd: spi-nor: macronix: enable quad/dual speed for mx25l3205d chips

[Esben Haabendal]

Macronix engineers apparantly do not understand the purpose of having
an ID actually identify the chip and its capabilities. Sigh.

The original Macronix SPI NOR flash that identifies itself as 0xC22016
with RDID was MX25L3205D. This chip does not support SFDP, but does
support the 2READ command (1-2-2).

When Macronix announced EoL for MX25L3205D, the recommended
replacement part was MX25L3206E, which conveniently also identifies
itself as 0xC22016. It does not support 2READ, but supports DREAD
(1-1-2) instead, and supports SFDP for discovering this.

When Macronix announced EoL for MX25L3206E, the recommended
replacement part was MX25L3233F, which also identifies itself as
0xC22016. It supports DREAD, 2READ, and the quad modes QREAD (1-1-4)
and 4READ (1-4-4). This also support SFDP.

So far, all of these chips have been handled the same way by the Linux
driver. The SFDP information have not been read, and no dual and quad
read modes have been enabled.

The trouble begins when we want to enable the faster read modes. The
RDID command only return the same 3 bytes for all 3 chips, so that
doesn't really help.

Instead, we can use the SPI_NOR_TRY_SFDP flag, which forces the spi-nor
system to try using SFDP, but fallback to the parameters specified in
struct flash_info.

This way, boards using MX25L3205D will continue as before this change.
That is without taking advantage of the 1-2-2 that it supports.

For MX25L3206E and MX25L3233F, the SFDP parameters are used, and they will
therefore be using the optimal dual or quad mode supported by the flash
and the SPI controller it is attached to.
