The patch fixes/works around something added by OpenWRT, so the MTD mailing
list probably isn't the right place? I am referring to
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=blob;f=target/linux/ar71xx/patches-4.9/461-spi-ath79-add-fast-flash-read.patch
which added in support for spi_flash_read() in the first place. That code is not
present in mainline Linux AFAICT.

Mainly because mentioned 461-spi-ath79-add-fast-flash-read.patch exists in the
ar71xx subdir.
