When reading flash contents, try to use the "command mode" if the AHB
window configured for the flash module is big enough. Else, just fall
back to the "user mode" to perform the read.

What about turning this into dumb if () {} else {} and dropping the goto ?

This is a matter of taste...

yes, well, this is because I have other patches adding DMAs :

	https://github.com/legoater/linux/commit/6880924dc2cf7a47c446a708df528b72d9bf9134#diff-e466368d609006970aab53a7b840221fR575

but as of today, the benefits in speed are to be proven and the current 
implementation does not support vmalloc'ed buffers. So I can drop the 
goto without too much regrets (if you insist :)

Cheers,

Nah, if you have further plans with this code, I don't mind either way.

Do you think we can merge these four patches in the next window ?

That's the git repo : git://github.com/spi-nor/linux.git  ?

Ah. I work on mainline generally, so I missed it.

Sure. Please don't hesitate to ping me. I will take a quick look
anyway.
