Hi Yogesh,

Unrelated note: no need to send your patches to both boris.brezillo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and boris.brezillo@xxxxxxxxxxx, just use the latter.

Ok, Sure.

This part is not clear.

Also, I'd prefer to have this patch split in 2:
1/ one patch removing the check in spi_nor_write() 2/ and the second patch removing the while() loop in m25p80_write()

How about the following commit messages for those 2 patches:

1:
"
mtd: spi-nor: Support controllers with limited TX FIFO size

Some SPI controllers can't write nor->page_size bytes in a single step because their TX FIFO is too small.

Allow nor->write() to return a size that is smaller than the requested write size to gracefully handle this case.
"

2:
"
mtd: devices: m25p80: Make sure WRITE_EN is issued before each write

Some SPI controllers can't write nor->page_size bytes in a single step because their TX FIFO is too small, but when that happens we should make sure a WRITE_EN command is issued before each write access.

The core is already taking care of that, so all we have to do here is return the actual number of bytes that were written during the
spi_mem_exec_op() operation.
"

Both patches send [1][2]
