Vignesh acked, who already did some of the last changes. But Ok, I've
added Marek to the loop.

Marek, do you see any problems here? Are you running QSPI on the
socfpga platform anywhere?

Ok, this is a different issue anyway. It is not related to socfpga
or cadence qspi. Maybe I can even trick my Linux to use 4 byte opcodes
instead of the 4 byte mode...
