Add support for the Cadence QSPI controller. This controller is

This driver has been tested on the Intel LGM SoCs.
This is v9 and still, none of the altera maintainers are on CC?
How will it be ensured that this doesn't break altera if it is merged?
Given that this is a new driver I'd be very surprised if it broke other
users? I can imagine it might not work for them and it would definitely
be much better to get their review but it shouldn't be any worse than
the current lack of support.
Thanks for the clarification, Please kindly see the below discussion b/w
Vignesh and Dinh in the earlier mail chain.
[Vignesh] The legacy driver under drivers/mtd/spi-nor will be removed
as we cannot
support both SPI NOR and SPI NAND with single driver if its under
spi-nor. New driver should be functionally equivalent to existing one.
So I suggest you test this driver on legcay SoCFPGA products.
[Dinh] I don't have the original patch series, but will monitor going
forward.
As long as the new driver does not break legacy SoCFPGA products that
use the cadence-quadspi driver then it should be ok.
