but I didn't see driver roll back "nor->read/write_proto = 1" 
if xxx->octal_dtr_enable() return failed!

okay, sure.

There are many SPI controllers driver use "op->cmd.opcode" directly,
so is spi-mxic.c.

i.e,.
ret = mxic_spi_data_xfer(mxic, &op->cmd.opcode, NULL, op->cmd.nbytes);

My platform is Xilinx Zynq platform which CPU is ARMv7 processor.

In 1-1-1 mode, it's OK to send 1 byte command by u16 opcode but
in 8D-8D-8D mode, I need to patch

i.e.,
op->cmd.opcode = op->cmd.opcode | (ext << 8);

rather than your patch.
