Hi Tudor,
Considering both are same, should I rename to mt25qu51a, and add SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES or
Keep n25q512a, and comment about mt25qu51a  and add SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES.

For separate patch comment you mean split mt25qu512a and mt35xu02g into 2 patch.

No,  data sheet in under NDA, I have asked micron FAE for public data sheet, will resend after the same is published.
