[U-Boot] [PATCH V2 1/2] mtd: cqspi: Simplify indirect write code

[Pavel Machek <pavel@denx.de>]

Hi!

> thing.

Ok, sorry, I still don't understand the changelog.

First, it describes the bug with L2 cache enabled, but then it says
that "all the patch does .. doing exactly the same thing".

So I assume it does not do the same thing, but replaces duplicated
code in u-boot with working code from Linux?

Thanks for doing this,
