[PATCH v4 0/3] spi: spi_flash_probe_bus_cs() rely on DT for spi speed and mode

Hi All

This v4 is lying on mailing list since one month and waiting for being reviewed/merged.
I am not sure this series is delegated to the correct people (Jagan Teki).

As this series is fixing spi-flash performance issue on some platform (STM32MP1 at least)
it would be great if this patchset was merged for v2022.07 release.

Thanks
Patrice
