Re: [PATCH linux-next v2 10/14] mtd: spi-nor: configure the number of dummy clock cycles on Macronix memories

[Cyrille Pitchen <cyrille.pitchen-AIFe0yeh4nAAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi all,

I've found a small issue within this patch when I test with a Macronix
mx25l51245g (JEDEC ID C2201A so reported as "mx66l51235l" by spi-nor.c).
It deals with a wrong op code used when reading the Configuration Register.
See below for more details.

So I will send a new patch to fix this issue.

Otherwise, I tested on a sama5d2 xplained board and it works :)

Macronix memories use the 0x15 op code (not 0x35) to read the Configuration Register.
The 0x35 op code is used to enter the QPI mode. So read_cr() cannot be used here.

Here again, we must use the 0x15 op code instead of 0x35.
