This patch changes the prototype of spi_nor_scan(): its 3rd parameter is replaced by a 'struct spi_nor_hwcaps' pointer, which tells the spi-nor framework about the actual hardware capabilities supported by the SPI controller and its driver. Besides, this patch also introduces a new 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter' telling the spi-nor framework about the hardware capabilities supported by the SPI flash memory and the associated settings required to use those hardware caps. Then, to improve the readability of spi_nor_scan(), the discovery of the memory settings and the memory initialization are now split into two dedicated functions. 1 - spi_nor_init_params() The spi_nor_init_params() function is responsible for initializing the 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter'. Currently this structure is filled with legacy values but further patches will allow to override some parameter values dynamically, for instance by reading the JESD216 Serial Flash Discoverable Parameter (SFDP) tables from the SPI memory. The spi_nor_init_params() function only deals with the hardware capabilities of the SPI flash memory: especially it doesn't care about the hardware capabilities supported by the SPI controller. 2 - spi_nor_setup() The second function is called once the 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter' has been initialized by spi_nor_init_params(). With both 'struct spi_nor_flash_parameter' and 'struct spi_nor_hwcaps', the new argument of spi_nor_scan(), spi_nor_setup() computes the best match between hardware caps supported by both the (Q)SPI memory and controller hence selecting the relevant settings for (Fast) Read and Page Program operations.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
