[v2, 4/4] dt-bindings: mtd: Add Octal SPI support to Cadence QSPI.

[Artur Jedrysek]

This patch updates Cadence QSPI Device Tree documentation to include
information about new compatible used to indicate, whether or not
Octal SPI transfers are supported by the device.

Changelog:
v2: Use new compatible, instead of boolean property, to indicate
Octal SPI support.

Please explicitly list all compatibles , ie.
Should be "cdns,qspi-nor" or "cdns,ospi-nor".

But I think the ospi is backward compatible with qspi, right ? So the
binding for ospi should list both, ie.
compatible = "cdns,ospi-nor", "cdns,qspi-nor";

Two possible options are also explicitly listed right below. I did that
in the way it was done in other driver for Cadence IP:
/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/macb.txt
Should I remove all of that and replace it with both options, separated
by an "or" word?

Yes, the ospi is backwards compatible with qspi. However, the sole point
of introducing new compatible was to differentiate between them (which
was previously done using a boolean flag, but that was criticized).
Listing both bindings for ospi would only help for kernels not
containing driver update being subject of this patch series, as both
ospi and qspi are handled by the same driver - just with a slight
difference. I apologize if I got something wrong here.

Wait for Rob to confirm.

You got it right, I was just curious about the compatibility.

As Marek suggested, but with one valid combination per line. I don't 
think checkpatch.pl will work with it as is.

You are assuming every OS/user everywhere is updated. It doesn't hurt to 
have the backwards compatibility.
