Subject: [PATCH 0/3] MTD: SST SPI-NOR fixes

Hi,

Patch 1-2: write path fixes
The sst write path is completely broken since v5.7-rc1 and in rare cases
since the support of the sst_write() function (49aac4aec53c).

Patch 3: cleanup

I've tested my patches with a small test app to ensure writes starting
on an odd address and with dd to test even start addresses. My dut was
an public available imx6q-sabrelite (rev.D).
Other testers are welcome :)

Regards,
Marco

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mtd: spi-nor: sst: fix write support for SST_WRITE marked devices

The sst write support for devices using the special SST_WRITE routine
is broken since commit commit df5c21002cf4 ("mtd: spi-nor: use spi-mem
dirmap API") because the spi_nor_create_write_dirmap() function checks
SPINOR_OP_AAI_WP and sst_write_second. These checks are not valid during
probe. The check seems also to be broken since the "op->addr.nbytes = 0"
causes the devm_spi_mem_dirmap_create() function to return
PTR_ERR(-EINVAL) and the probe() function will fail.

It seems that the commit only copy'n'pasted the existing logic. Use the
correct SST_WRITE flag and return 0 to fix both issues.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mtd: spi-nor: sst: add missing write_enable

According the datasheet [1] the WEL is automatically reset after the
Byte-Program instruction completion. So if we program the device with
byte-size set to 32 and starting from an odd address only the first and
the last byte is written. Fix this by (re-)anble the write support for
the first SPINOR_OP_AAI_WP sequence.

Or How about more readable version:

"Most SST flashes have special sequence for writing data to the flash
and therefore cannot support writes through direct mapping APIs."

nor->dirmap.wdesc is known to be NULL at this point. So no need to set
to NULL again.

My colleague, Joerg, has validated that these patches fix an issue we
saw where performing multi-byte writes to a SST25VF016B would fail.
