[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Fix the qspi parallel memory issues

[Dominik Wernberger]

Hello Venkatesh,

Is there any news on the status of this patch? I'm working with a Zynq 7z020 system where 2 Flashes
operate in parallel QSPI mode. This patch is essential for the correct Flash erase in U-Boot v2025.01-rc3.

Without this patch Flash erase fails on every second multiple of Flash erase section size (FESS). Failing
means that the Flash erase is not initiated or successful. I.e., the Flash section is not altered.

For example, lets assume a FESS with 0x20000 (128 kiB).

sf test 00000 20000 # Works
sf test 20000 20000 # Fails
sf test 40000 20000 # Works
sf test 60000 20000 # Fails
# ...

Note that executing

sf erase 20000 20000
SF: 131072 bytes @ 0x20000 Erased: OK

shows OK even though the Flash sector were not erased.

In case you have any new/rebased patches you want me to test, I would be happy to do so. I'm looking
forward getting this patch into mainline U-Boot.

Best Regards,

Dominik
