Hi Fabrizio, sorry but I won't apply this patch. New values for the 'compatible' DT properties should only be added for memory parts not supporting the JEDEC READ ID (0x9F) command. SST25 memories do support this command hence should use the "jedec,spi-nor" value alone. For historical reasons, some DT nodes set their 'compatible' string to something like "<vendor>,<model>", "jedec,spi-nor". It should work as expected in most case however I discourage from doing so in new device trees because it may have some side effects especially when the m25p80.c driver is used between the spi-nor.c driver and the SPI controller driver. It's all about setting the 2nd parameter of spi_nor_scan(), the 'name' parameter, as NULL when possible. This parameter should be set to a non NULL value only for memories not supporting the JEDEC READ ID op code (0x9F).
