Subject: Re: [PATCH] spi: document broadcom qspi driver as broken

Arnd, Cyrille,

I am working on fixing spi-bcm-qspi.c as per Cyrill's suggestion as
mentioned here : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9624585/.
 And remove the use of SPINOR_OP_READ* and there by remove need to
include spi-nor.h.

Thanks
Kamal
