[Sagar Shrikant Kadam <sagar.kadam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The patch set is tested on HiFive Unleashed board and is based on mainline
kernel v 5.1-rc5. Its intended to add support for 32 MB spi-nor flash
mounted on the board. Memory Device supports 4/32/and 64 KB sectors size.
The device id table is updated accordingly.

Flash parameter table for ISSI device is set to use macronix_quad_enable
procedure to set the QE (quad-enable) bit of Status register.

With issi_lock and unlock schemes support for block protection is added 
in patch 2 and 3.

Erase/Read/Write operations are verified on HiFive Unleashed board using  mtd and flash utils (v1.5.2):
1. mtd_debug  	:Options available are : erase/read/write.
2. flashcp	:Single utility that erases flash, writes a file to flash and verifies the data back.
