Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] mtd: spi-nor: sst: Factor out common write operation to `sst_nor_write_data()`
Date: Fri,  8 May 2026 15:32:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508193205.1850313-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050405-sizzling-activate-5c93@gregkh>

From: Csókás, Bence <csokas.bence@prolan.hu>

[ Upstream commit 18bcb4aa54eab75dce41e5c176a1c2bff94f0f79 ]

Writing to the Flash in `sst_nor_write()` is a 3-step process:
first an optional one-byte write to get 2-byte-aligned, then the
bulk of the data is written out in vendor-specific 2-byte writes.
Finally, if there's a byte left over, another one-byte write.
This was implemented 3 times in the body of `sst_nor_write()`.
To reduce code duplication, factor out these sub-steps to their
own function.
