Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you can read more bytes there; the
extra number of Shift Registers *looked* to me like you should be able
to read even more than 5...

So in my other email, I showed you how I generalized the TX/RX function,
so it can handle most of both the write_reg() and read_reg() functions.
I'm not 100% sure now that it has all of the RX path correct; it worked
for the cases I could test, but it's confusing when reading the manual
to figure out which SHREG register I should start from. But anyway, I
think it should only take some small adjustments to my patch to make it
handle things properly.

I'd really appreciate it if you could incorporate my feedback and
review/improve the ..._do_tx_rx() function I wrote, to make sure it
handles reading any arbitrary number of bytes (at least up to 6). So,
you might, for example, run some tests where you have spi-nor.c call

	nor->read_reg(nor, SPINOR_OP_RDID, id, idlen)

with varying values for 'idlen', and make sure they all work properly.

Let me know if you have any questions about comments either here, or on
v5.

Regards,
Brian
