Subject: RE: [PATCH v4 0/7] Add spi-nor SPI transfer error handling

>Hello,

>with these patches SPI transfer errors are not silently ignored but rather reported to spi-nor users.

>This should prevent silently dropping data to the floor in cases when the SPI transfer fails and the failure is detected.

>It has been pointed out that MTD users do not handle the case when data is read only partially so this version adds the last patch which handles this in spi-nor.

>Thanks

>Michal
 Seems parallel nand read/write also has the same condition.
