yes,sure!
let's work together to upstream the Octal 8D-8D-8D driver to mainline.

The main concern is where and how to enable xSPI octal mode?

Vignesh don't agree to enable it in fixup hooks and that's why I patched
it to spi_nor_late_init_params() and confirmed the device support xSPI 
Octal mode after BFPT DWORD-19 and xSPI pf 1.0 have been parsed.

I can't apply your patches to enable xSPI Octal mode for mx25uw51245g 
because your patches set up Octal protocol first and then using Octal 
protocol to write Configuration Register 2(CFG Reg2). I think driver
should write CFG Reg2 in SPI 1-1-1 mode (power on state) and make sure
write CFG Reg 2 is success and then setup Octa protocol in the last.

As JESD216F description on BFPT DOWRD 19th, only two way to enable 
xSPI Octal mode;
one is by two instruction: issue instruction 06h(WREN) and then E8h.
the other is issue instruction 06h, then issue instruction 72h (Write
CFG Reg2), address 0h and data 02h (8D-8D-8D).

Let our patches comply with this. you may refer to my patches
[v2,3/5] mtd: spi-nor: Parse BFPT DWORD-18, 19 and 20 for Octal 8D-8D-8D 
mode

                 /* Octal mode enable sequences. */
                 switch (bfpt.dwords[BFPT_DWORD(19)] & 
BFPT_DWORD19_OCTAL_SEQ_MASK) {
                 case BFPT_DWORD19_TWO_INST:
+       ----> to patch here.
                                 break;
                 case BFPT_DWORD19_CFG_REG2:
                                 params->xspi_enable = 
spi_nor_cfg_reg2_octal_enable;
                                 break;
                 default:
                                 break;
                 }

yup, I got his point and please make sure CPU data access.

i.e,.
Fix endianness of the BFPT DWORDs and xSPI in sfdp.c

and your patch,
+                                ext = spi_nor_get_cmd_ext(nor, op);
+                                op->cmd.opcode = (op->cmd.opcode << 8) | 
ext;
+                                op->cmd.nbytes = 2;

I think maybe using u8 opcode[2] could avoid endianness.

Moreover, Vignesh think it's fine to use u8 ext_opcode in my v1 patches.

Let's open this discussion and maybe Vighesh and Tudor could have some 
comments on it.
thanks a lot.

I mean this function just do xSPI profile 1.0 table parse, no read/pp 
setting
i.e,.

+                 */
+                params->hwcaps.mask |= SNOR_HWCAPS_READ_8_8_8_DTR;
+ spi_nor_set_read_settings(&params->reads[SNOR_CMD_READ_8_8_8_DTR],
+                                                                  0, 20, 
opcode,
+ SNOR_PROTO_8_8_8_DTR);
+
+                /*
+                 * Since the flash supports xSPI DTR reads, it should 
also support DTR

+                 */
+                params->hwcaps.mask |= SNOR_HWCAPS_PP_8_8_8_DTR;
