As far as I know, the Profile 1.0 table only describes 8D-8D-8D mode. I 
see no mention of 8S-8S-8S in JESD251 or JESD216D.01. No field in the 
table describes anything related to 8S. In fact, searching for "8S" in 
the JESD251 spec yields 0 results. 

Anyway, you should set up 8S parameters in SNOR_CMD_READ_8_8_8, not 
SNOR_CMD_READ_8_8_8_DTR. 8D configuration is independent of 8S 
configuration.

PS: If you have any more comments, please send them now. The merge 
window is getting close, and I'd like to see this make it in.
