Actually, this has nothing to do with SPI NOR reset logic.
Yes, we need to reset NOR flash during u-boot startup, because
hardware was already initialized to 4-byte addressing by
u-boot-spl. No matter what reset logic does, if it passes u-boot-spl
(and SPI NOR is actually used), it will be in 4-byte mode.
And no, mainline u-boot-spl is not usable on socfpga, and probably will
not be usable for a whill, so u-boot-spl from altera is only option
here.
So.. what to do?
Do you want this patch? Do you want patch that know how to switch back
to 3-byte addressing on this particular flash?
Best regards,
Pavel
