[PATCH v6 2/3] spi: dt-bindings: Describe stacked/parallel memories modes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Describe two new memories modes:
- A stacked mode when the bus is common but the address space extended
  with an additinals wires.
- A parallel mode with parallel busses accessing parallel flashes where
  the data is spread.
