I believe you almost addressed the concerns raised in v7 about
cont_read_possible, except what you do here is still a bit dangerous
since you could re-enable continuous reads on no_cs_assertion capable
controllers. I believe you should clear the flag only, never risk to set
it, something like:

if (!templates->cont_read_cache)
spinand->cont_read_possible = false;

With this fixed,

Thank you for the review.

Fixed as you suggested - spinand_try_ranked_variant() now only clears
cont_read_possible when the newly selected variant has no matching
cont_read counterpart; Will carry this into v10 along with the other
fixes.

Thanks,
Santhosh.


I believe I will take this patch only after Mark takes the batch before,
which looks mostly good for my non-spi-expert eyes. Either Mark shares
an immutable tag, or I wait one cycle.

Thanks,
Miquèl
