Indeed, thanks Arnd!

Since commit ("mtd: spi-nor: add driver for STM32 quad spi flash
controller") was included with the spi-nor PR for 4.12 I've sent
yesterday to Brian, I will check with him to know how he wants us to
proceed:

- If Brian has not started yet to review the PR and if he agrees on
that, I can rework a little bit the history in github/spi-nor to squash
Arnd's patch into Ludovic's one.
Ludovic's patch is already in linux-next but not yet in any release
candiate.

- or I can send an new PR keeping the fixup patch aside.

Best regards,

Cyrille
