Cyrille Pitchen cfc5604c48 mtd: spi-nor: introduce SPI 1-2-2 and SPI 1-4-4 protocols
This patch changes the prototype of spi_nor_scan(): its 3rd parameter
is replaced by a 'struct spi_nor_hwcaps' pointer, which tells the spi-nor
framework about the actual hardware capabilities supported by the SPI
controller and its driver.

Besides, this patch also introduces a new 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter'
telling the spi-nor framework about the hardware capabilities supported by
the SPI flash memory and the associated settings required to use those
hardware caps.

Then, to improve the readability of spi_nor_scan(), the discovery of the
memory settings and the memory initialization are now split into two
dedicated functions.

1 - spi_nor_init_params()

The spi_nor_init_params() function is responsible for initializing the
'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter'. Currently this structure is filled with
legacy values but further patches will allow to override some parameter
values dynamically, for instance by reading the JESD216 Serial Flash
Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) tables from the SPI memory.
The spi_nor_init_params() function only deals with the hardware
capabilities of the SPI flash memory: especially it doesn't care about
the hardware capabilities supported by the SPI controller.

2 - spi_nor_setup()

The second function is called once the 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter'
has been initialized by spi_nor_init_params().
With both 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter' and 'struct spi_nor_hwcaps',
the new argument of spi_nor_scan(), spi_nor_setup() computes the best
match between hardware caps supported by both the (Q)SPI memory and
controller hence selecting the relevant settings for (Fast) Read and Page
Program operations.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
