[U-Boot] [PATCH RESEND 0/7] spi: cadence_qspi: optimize & fix indirect rd-writes

Hi Vikas,

I finally got to testing your latest patchset. And have
some comments / problems:

With these patches applied, I see this compilation error:

$ make -s -j10

The socfpga.dtsi has incorrect syntax. Here a quick fix for this -
please add this to your next version. And please also compile-test
for e.g. socrates.

Okay. After installing the resulting image on the SoCrates, I get
the following error while reading from SD-card:

=> sf probe
SF: Detected N25Q256 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 4 KiB, total 32 MiB
SF: Warning - Only lower 16MiB accessible, Full access #define CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR
=> sf read 100000 0 100000
QSPI: indirect completion status error with reg 0x0000000c
SF: 1048576 bytes @ 0x0 Read: ERROR

So there seems to be something breaking the SoCFPGA Cadence
QSPI support. Any idea whats going wrong here?

Thanks,
Stefan
