The hifive-unleashed-a00.dts has flash spi-tx/rx width set
to 4-bit mode. During sf probe, spi_nor_scan fails to read the
JEDEC ID with reg_proto set to SNOR_PROTO_1_1_1. Setting it to
1-bit mode as of now will help read the JEDEC-ID and perform other
flash operations.

So previously with Jagan's series that did not have these changes in
this commit, the flash driver worked well. I wonder what real issue
was fixed in this commit?

Yes true, I had observed that flash device was working with Jagan's series 
you are indicating here. The flash device was getting probed at cs 2/4/6/8 etc..
but it couldn't get detected on CS0 which is actually connected on the board 
to the flash device. 
With the check of spi->num_cs done in patch 2 of this series or the one handled
in commit 7bacce524d48 ("dm: spi: Check cs number before accessing slaves") 
invalid chip select is taken care of and flash is not detected on wrong chip selects,
but spi transfer still fails as the sifive-spi driver set's the SIFIVE_SPI_FMT_PROTO_QUAD
mode based on device tree information. While reading Device ID in spi_nor_scan the
reg proto is set to 1_1_1 bit mode and this contradicts here in the driver due to which
spi_nor_scan fails, due to which one cannot use the flash. 
So for now I have added this override here to 1 bit mode so that users can use it. 
Maybe I will update the commit message to indicate that this is workaround for a bug
in SPI driver for FU540 which currently is not able to handle QUAD mode operation.
Please let me know your views here.

Thanks & BR,
Sagar

Thanks for the details. Based on your description, I think there is
something wrong with the SPI-NOR driver. Your change to 1 line only
seems to be a workaround.

Jagan, would you please comment?

It would be good if you could also share some input's here.
