Not sure what you mean here. What would you like us to fix exactly?

Problems 2 and 3 should definitely be fixed. That's weird because I
remember that Frieder tested the new driver with a NOR chip, maybe not
with JFFS2 though.

This one is clearly not something we should fix. What you were doing is
unsafe (accessing the direct mapping from userspace without making sure
you're the only one to access the device), and making it even more
broken is IMO a better thing. You want to access the memory from
user-space, just use the standard MTD interface (/dev/mtdX).

Just try with a 16-bit address and you'll see it does not work. I don't
know why, and it's more something you should ask to someone working at
NXP ;-).

Not with the new approach. SFAR is now automatically reconfigured at
each access, and it works because we're not using a LUT_ADDR
instruction but a LUT_MODE one. Sure, I'd prefer to go for the clean
solution with a LUT_ADDR and the address passed through SFAR (+AHB
offset), but it does not work with anything that is not 24 bits or
32 bits wide, which means it does not work when you need to access a SPI
NAND device (on which some addresses are 16 bits wide).

You're still thinking as if the driver was only controlling a NOR
device which can be directly addressed. This is not the case for NAND
devices where you first have to load the data in the NAND internal cache
and then read data from the cache.

Please have a look at SPI NAND datasheets and you'll see it's simply
not possible. So, either NXP doesn't want his QSPI controller to
interface with anything except NORs or we have to use the trick we have
here (LUT_MODE instead of LUT_ADDR).

Would you mind giving more details about where you'd like this traces
