Hi Bayi,

I'm looking over your v5, and I still have a lot of comments. I'll send
those soon. But I still question one of your responses here:

^^ so you have 6 "TX" registers.

^^ and you have at least 6 "RX" registers (looking at the mt8173 manual,
I'm not sure what the SHREG{6..9} are for). So I don't see why you can't
program MTK_NOR_CNT_REG to 48 (6 bytes * 8 bits/byte) to get 6 bytes
TX/RX, or IOW, 1 byte of opcode and 5 bytes of either RX or TX data. So
I'm still not convinced about your claim below.

I was able to rewrite your driver to do the above, and I can read out 5
bytes no problem, but unfortunately, the flash device I have has only 3
bytes of ID, so the last two bytes are zero, which doesn't tell me too
much if this is working right.

How exactly did you try? Did you do what I suggested above? Are the
"shift registers" not all actually functional?
