When I do mtd1 + mtd2 + mtd3, I end up with 0x3d00000 instead of 0x4000000. Is 
that normal? Do you reserve a bit of space at the end or is it that rcw is not 
starting at 0?

I have given partition size n bootargs as 
mtdparts=20c0000.quadspi-1:5M(rcw),10M(test),46M(rootfs)
5 + 10 + 46 ==> 61M i.e. 0x3d00000.
I have just reserve the bit at the end, we can modify these settings also.

Did you try to create a smaller partition? Maybe we have a problem when 
accessing addresses higher than X with the new driver (X to be determined).

Would try and update you.
