[PATCH] mtd: m25p80: Add support for Micron N25Q512A memory

[Priyanka Jain]

Micron N25Q512A is a spi flash memory with following features:
-64MB size, 1.8V, Mulitple I/O, 4KB Sector erase memory.
-Memory is organised as 1024(64KB) main sectors.
-Each sector is divided into 256 pages.
-Register set/Opcodes are similar to other N25Q family products.

This device actually has the same ID as Micron's next line (MT25QL512A).
They have the same geometry, so maybe that's not a problem.

(FWIW, I haven't gotten either flash working here, but I'm suspecting
board problems.)

I'll give Marek a chance to look at this, then I'll take this into
l2-mtd.git if there are no objections.

Why does this n25q256a and n25q512a have exactly the same geometry? I mean, 
those chips differ in size, do they not ? ;-)

btw. I got me a board with n25q256a. The chip works fine with recent linux 
kernel, so the ST-related 4-byte addressing change works perfectly.

I was referring to Micron n25q512a (which this patch mentions) and
Micron's new generation of flash MT25QL512A (not mentioned in the
original code or patch). They are different flash and are named
differently but have the same ID. Perhaps my usage of the word "line"
was confusing.

Good to know. Thanks.

Yes I know. Still, that n25q512a line being the exact copy of n25q256a doesn't 
seem right.

The new ql512a seems line just a compatible replacement part for older lineup. 
Happens all the time.

Sorry, I didn't check the original patch carefully enough, and I
subsequently misunderstood your question. I believe the patch is
incorrect; it should be 512Mbit (64MByte) which makes it 64KB sector x
1024 number of sectors, not 64KB sector x 512 number of sectors. Good
catch.

Priyanka, can you submit and test a corrected patch?

Hmm, OK.
