all these are spi-nor controller which doesn't do any generic spi things but should be in spi-nor subsystem. Even Marek send altera_qspi as spi-nor controller [1]
This is because that thing communicates like a SPI controller.
OK, the driver you sent to Linux is not same as this - means not same controller?
This is correct, the controller we're discussing here is completely different from the Cadence QSPI I submitted for Linux kernel.
Since I'm working on similar spi-nor subsystem what Linux have + driver model little worried about this because once we have spi-nor again it should be a re-work.
Your work and this driver are orthogonal things.
OK, let's park my work a side - do you agree with me like this driver should be part of spi-nor?
No
