Re: Questions about the Freescale/NXP QuadSPI controller

Dear All,

Maybe I do jump a bit off topic here, but...

I've read through the following thread:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/939885/

And it mentions some issues with reading AHB content (buffers) in
fsl-quadspi.c driver discovered when new QuadSPI driver was developed.

I do have a setup with qspi0 having two SPI memories connected (2x16
MiB), and I'm wondering if anybody has some more info regarding:

(What's more is that there is a bug in
 * the "IP Command Read" in the Vybrid.) found here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.19-rc4/source/drivers/mtd/spi-nor/fsl-quadspi.c#L671

I've googled for some errata or known issues for vybryd's QSPI IP block
(vf610) but without luck so far ...

Thanks in advance,
