I apologize for the misunderstanding.
The lack of a changelog is my oversight.

The patch Jaime previously submitted included support
for octal DTR mode and added the new octal NOR flash ID
with RWW feature.
However, these two things should belong to different patch
series, so I split them apart.

The reason for splitting them again this time is because
I think that adding support for the octal NOR flash with
RWW feature should be proposed after Alvinzhou's v9
version, which supports octal DTR mode, is accepted.

So, I independently added support for serial NOR flash
without RWW feature.

I apologize again for adding burden to the maintainers.
Moving forward, we will ensure everything is internally
reviewed before submitting patches. Thank you for your
patience in addressing this matter.
