Subject: [PATCH 3/7] mtd: spi-nor: allow to tune the number of dummy cycles

The number of dummy cycles used during Fast Read commands can be reduced
to improve transfer performances. Each manufacturer has a dedicated set of
registers to provide the memory with the exact number of dummy cycles it
should expect. Both the memory and the (Q)SPI controller must agree on
this number of dummy cycles.

The number of dummy cycles can be found into the memory datasheet and
mostly depends on the SPI clock frequency, the Fast Read op code and the
Single/Dual Data Rate mode.

Probing JEDEC Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) tables would
only provide the driver with a high enough number of dummy cycles for each
Fast Read command to be used for all clock frequencies: this solution
would not be optimized.
