The driver looks pretty clean but there are a couple of issues below,
including a little bit more of the flash specifics.

Like with the dual and quad mode stuff this looks very much like it's
specific to flash rather than something that applies to a generic SPI
driver.  However it does look like it's a generic SPI device which could
be used in other applications which makes things a bit tricky.  We don't
have a really good answer for this right now unfortunately, probably we
need some sort of special interface between the SPI and flash subsystems
to allow flash to use the flash specific stuff.

For use as a generic SPI device what I'd suggest is stripping out the
flash specifics, merging the rest of the support and then considering
the flash specifics separately.

The clock mode needs to be (and is) configured per transfer so I'd
expect it's possible to remove this call.

It's better to display the error code.

This needs to be disable_unprepare().

It would be better to also implement runtime PM support to disable the
clocks while the device is idle as well, that will save a small amount
of power while the device isn't doing anything.
