Which octaflash is that? The flash datasheets you have linked in patch 2 
either have a max supported frequency of 133 MHz or 250 MHz.

Ok. I don't see this mentioned in the datasheet but the timing diagram 
seems to imply this.

This would switch the flash to 8S-8S-8S mode, which isn't all that much 
better than 8D-8D-8D (it is a stateful mode, you need to know beforehand 
that the flash is in this mode before you can use it properly). I think 
"disabling" octal DTR should mean switching back to the default 
(1S-1S-1S) mode.

For some flashes it is 250 MHz and for some it is 133 MHz. More on this

I've looked at both the 133 and 250 MHz parts. In both, the default 
dummy cycles are already 20. This can be skipped. This way you also 
don't have to say in comments whether this enables 133 MHz or 250 MHz 
operation (again, I don't get where the 200 MHz comes from...).

The chip manufacturer chose sane defaults for the dummy cycle value. 
Let's reap the benefits and reduce the code we have to maintain.

I don't see SFDP values listed in the datasheet. Since the flash is 
supposed to be xSPI compliant, it should have a Profile 1.0 table. Does 
the Profile 1.0 parser correctly select 20 dummy cycles for this flash? 
If yes, there is no need for this.

I see that the flash uses inverted 2nd byte for opcode in 8D mode. I 
assume this is discovered correctly via SFDP.

4 byte addressing is used for this command even in 1S-1S-1S mode. Ok.

When disabling, the op would be in 8D-8D-8D mode so having a data length 
of 1 would be invalid. This is currently the case even in the patches 
that I sent for Micron and Cypress.

I am not sure what the correct fix for this is though. One option is to 
send the same byte twice, but I remember that on the Cypress flash the 
second byte over-writes the register at the next address. I'm not sure 
how Macronix flashes handle the second byte. Can you check what the 
behavior for your flash is when you write 2 bytes to the register?

Shouldn't this be discovered via BFPT DWORD 18?

Shouldn't these two be discovered via the Profile 1.0 table?

In general, avoid hard-coding values that can be discovered through 
SFDP. The device usually knows more about itself than we do.

Hm, I don't like this unreferenced variable here. In fact, you should
merge patch 1 and 2 into a single patch. This would combine things in a 
single neat commit, including the links to datasheets. This will make it 
easier for future archaeologists digging around with git blame to find 
some more info about the flash.

That's an ancient version of Git you're using there ;-)

Overall, I like the direction this patch is taking, but lots of minor 
things to polish out.
