When the software reset command isn't supported, we now report it as an
informational message(dev_info) instead of a warning(dev_warn). 
This adjustment helps avoid unnecessary alarm and confusion regarding
software reset capabilities.

v2. only lower the priority for the not supported failure

It bothers me that we use ENOTSUPP here. We should really use 
EOPNOTSUPP.
The core uses EOPNOTSUPP everywhere except for the intel things.

Please have a look at changing that to EOPNOTSUPP. See also:

I'm not sure this is helpful. It's only the intel SPI controller which
does magic things (instead of just issuing our commands). Mika, do you
know wether your controller will do a reset on it's own? I presume so,
because AFAIR you have some kind of high level controller which also 
does
SFDP parsing and read opcode handling on their own.

I'd leave that as is, because how are the chances that the first one is
supported and the second command, isn't?
When working with the intel controller, we'll return early after the
first spi_mem_exec_op().

Makes sense.

Yes, that's right.
