However, as we send entire 'message sequences' to the FSM Controller
as opposed to merely OPCODEs we would have to extract the OPCODE from
flash->command[0] and call our own functions to craft the correct
'message sequence' for the task. For this reason we rejected the idea
and went with a stand-alone driver.

could you send me the datasheet of your spi nor controller?
I can change my code if it really not good enough.

we can store the opcode to a field, such as spi_nor_write_op.
The framework which Huang is proposing suffers from the same issues.
Only providing read(), write(), read_reg() and write_reg() doesn't
work for our use-case, as we'd have to decode the flash->command[0] and
invoke our own internal routines as before.

The only framework with would work for us would consist almost all
of the important functions such as; read(), write(), erase(),
wait_busy(), read_jedec(), read_status_reg(), write_status_reg(),
read_control_reg(), write_control_reg(), etc. However, this approach
read_jedec() can be replaced by read_reg(0x9f);

read_status() can be replaced by read_reg(0x5);

....

write_control_reg() can be replaced by write_reg(xx).


Please correct me if i am wrong.

IMHO, the current four hooks for spi-nor{} can do all the things.

read/write/read_reg/write_reg.

thanks
Huang Shijie
