RE: [V5 PATCH 1/1] driver:mtd:spi-nor: Add quad I/O support for Micron spi nor

Yes,but if you use quad commands in Extended spi mode,only for Quad commands,the command line is DQ0,
Address/data line is DQ0,DQ1,DQ2 and DQ3(1-x-4). 
But if in Quad I/O mode,for all the commands,the command/address/data line will be 4,they are DQ0,DQ1,DQ2 and DQ3(4-x-4).

This maybe your spi controller is still extended mode, 
Once EVCR bit 7 is set to 0, the spi nor device will operate in quad I/O.Command-address-data line is 4-x-4.
So after send WRITE EVCR command , spi controller also  must transfer to quad I/O Mode,and set its Command-address-data line also
Should be 4-x-4 .

>If I don't set the quad mode in the EVCR, then I can use quad read commands no problem.
Yes,you don't set the quad mode in the EVCR,you can use quad read commands,but this patch is for enable Micron SPI nor Quad I/O mode,
If you want to enable it ,you must set EVCR.

>Bottom line, with the Cadence QSPI controller, if I use quad commands in Extended SPI mode, then all good.  If I use this EVCR quad mode, then all bad.

>Anybody else have a Cadence QSPI controller and using EVCR quad mode successfully?
