[PATCH v2 0/7] spi: add support for octal mode

From: Yogesh Narayan Gaur
Date: Mon Oct 15 2018 - 08:14:05 EST


Add support for octal mode IO data transfer.
Micron flash, mt35xu512aba, supports octal mode data transfer and
NXP FlexSPI controller supports 8 data lines for data transfer (Rx/Tx).

Patch series
* Add support for octal mode flags and parsing of same in spi driver.
* Add parsing logic for spi-mem framework and m25p80.c device file.
* Add opcodes for octal I/O commands in spi-nor framework, Read and Write proto for (1-1-8/1-8-8) mode.
Opcodes are added as per octal data IO commands required for mt35xu512aba [1] flash.
* Add mode bit required for octal mode in nxp-fspi driver [2].
* Define binding property 'spi-rx/tx-bus-width' for LX2160ARDB target [2].
