Hi Jagan,
Please remove the other patch serie: _https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=218779
This serie (219106) has the correct flash maker name.
Thanks!

Add STMICRO MT25QL01G flash, used on AST2600 board.
MT25QL01G is not a STMicroelectronics flash but a Micron one ;-)
Thanks for the correction, Patrice.
I came back to spi-nor-ids.c, there are two places in the code checking CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_STMICRO define, at line 167 (a lot of Micron flashes included in the block), and at line 239, furthermore, there is no SPI_FLASH_MICRON config menu in Kconfig file. I got confused, why SPI_FLASH_MICRON is not in Kconfig?
To sum up, at the beginning, it was STMicroelectronics flashes, since 2010, MICRON acquired this activities. If you want the full history, you will find information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numonyx So the CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_STMICRO compilation flag is historical and didn't get renamed to CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_MICRON.
Thanks for the information, it is an interesting history!
