TMOD is one field of DW_SPI_CTRL0. Its available value could be:

0: Transmit and Receive

1: Transmit only

2: Receive only

3: EEPROM Read

If the one spi nor flash is connected to the SPI host, so far I can only succeed
to read the nor flash content after setting the TMOD field as 3.

Thanks,
Jisheng
