Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] mtd: spi-nor: add support for is25wp256 spi-nor flash

The patch set is tested on HiFive Unleashed A00 board and is based on
mainline kernel v5.2-rc1. Its intended to add support for 32 MB spi-nor
flash mounted on the board. Memory Device supports 4/32/ and 64 KB sectors
size. The device id table is updated accordingly.

Flash parameter table for ISSI device is set to use macronix_quad_enable
procedure to set the QE (quad-enable) bit of Status register.

A unilaterlay block unlocking scheme is added in patch 2.

These patches are based on original work done by Wesley Terpstra and/or
Palmer Dabbelt:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/commit/c94e267766d62bc9a669611c3d0c8ed5ea26569b

Erase/Read/Write operations are verified on HiFive Unleashed board using  mtd and flash utils (v1.5.2):
1. mtd_debug  	:Options available are : erase/read/write.
2. flashcp	:Single utility that erases flash, writes a file to flash and verifies the data back.
3. flash_unlock: Unlock flash memory blocks.Arguments: are offset and number of blocks.
3. flash_lock: 	 Lock flash memory blocks. Arguments: are offset and number of blocks. 

Unlock scheme clears the protection bits of all blocks in the Status register.

Lock scheme:
A basic implementation based on stm_lock scheme and is validated for different number of blocks passed
to flash_lock. ISSI devices have top/bottom area selection in "function register" which is OTP memory.

The changes along with other relevant patches are available under 
branch dev/sagark/spi-nor_v5.2-rc1 at:
https://github.com/sagsifive/riscv-linux-hifive 
 

Revision history:
V5<->V6:
-Incorporated review comments from Vignesh.
-Set addr width based on device size and if SPI_NOR_4B_OPCODES is set.
-Added 4th block protect identifier (SPI_NOR_HAS_BP3) to flash_info structure 
-Changed flash_info: flag from u16 to u32 to accommodate SPI_NOR_HAS_BP3
-Prefix newly added function with spi_nor_xxx.
-Dropped write_fr function, as updating OTP bit's present in function register doesn't seem to be a good idea.
-Set lock/unlock schemes based on whether the ISSI device has locking support and  BP3 bit present.

V4<->V5:
-Rebased to linux version v5.2-rc1.
-Updated heading of this cover letter with sub-system, instead of just plain "add support for is25wp256..."

V3<->V4:
-Extracted comman code and renamed few stm functions so that it can be reused for issi lock implementation.
-Added function's to read and write FR register, for selecting Top/Bottom area.

V2<->V3:
-Rebased patch to mainline v5.1 from earlier v5.1-rc5.
-Updated commit messages, and cover letter with reference to git URL and author information.
-Deferred flash_lock mechanism and can go as separate patch. 

V1<-> V2:
-Incorporated changes suggested by reviewers regarding patch/cover letter versioning, references of patch.
-Updated cover letter with description for flash operations verified with these changes.
-Add support for unlocking is25xxxxxx device.
-Add support for locking is25xxxxxx device.

v1:
-Add support for is25wp256 device.
