Nope, you cannot have two drivers for the same IP (i.e Cadence QSPI)
just to support to different types of SPI memories. This is the reason
why spi_mem_ops was introduced.

Please rewrite this driver over to use spi_mem_ops (instead of using
generic SPI xfers) so that same driver supports both SPI-NOR and
SPI-NAND flashes. Once that's done drivers/mtd/spi-nor/cadence-quadspi.c
can be deleted.

There are few existing examples of spi_mem_ops users in drivers/spi/
(git grep spi_mem_ops) and materials here on how to write such a driver:
