From the second patch's description I'm assuming that MTD still functions
correctly without that change?

Yes Palmer, the second patch is to enable QUAD write to nor flash..
MTD  function's correctly without second patch.

Using the character interface (/dev/mtd0) mtd_utils (mtd_debug : erase/read/write) work fine.
We might require CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK, CONFIG_MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS  in order to use MTD partitioning.
IMHO it can be at user's choice weather to use flash partitions or not, so I have not enabled. Please let me 
know if I should enable these features as well.

To demonstrate a bit more with linux 5.7-rc3 

Specify on U-boot prompt:
# setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttySIF0 mtdparts=spi0.0:1024k(loader1),4096K(loader2),26M(rootfs)"

After booting linux will enumerate mtd partitions:
# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00001000 "loader1"
mtd1: 00400000 00001000 "loader2"
mtd2: 01a00000 00001000 "rootfs"

# cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name
  31        0       1024 mtdblock0
  31        1       4096 mtdblock1
  31        2      26624 mtdblock2

#Format mtdblock2 with mkfs.ext3/4 and mount results in
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/mtdblock2
mke2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
/dev/mtdblock2 contains a ext3 file system
        last mounted on /mnt on Thu Jan  1 00:00:14 1970
Proceed anyway? (y,N) y
Creating filesystem with 26624 1k blocks and 6656 inodes

Looks like arm64 has these:

arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_CFI=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_CFI_ADV_OPTIONS=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_CFI_INTELEXT=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_CFI_AMDSTD=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_CFI_STAA=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_OF=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_DATAFLASH=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_SST25L=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_RAW_NAND=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_DENALI_DT=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_MARVELL=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_FSL_IFC=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_QCOM=y
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR=y

so I think we're good with just what you have here: MTD_BLOCK doesn't seem that
useful, and the rest are drivers.  That said, these (along with SPI and
SPI_SIFIVE) should really be in Kconfig.socs rather than defconfig.  Can you
send a patch that does that?

Yes sure, I will send a V2 series, where SPI,  SPI_SIFIVE,  MTD, 
and MTD_SPI_NOR will be a part of Kconfig.socs.

We had build issues in past by selecting major driver subsystems
in Kconfig.socs

I suggest to select SPI_SIFIVE from Kconfig.socs and other
platform independent options should go in defconfig and
rv32_defconfig.

The general rule of thumb is to force select only required
drivers from Kconfig.socs.

SPI_SIFIVE can be m, don't override that.

Thanks for suggestions Anup and Andreas.
I missed to reply, sorry for that.

Please let me know if I am wrong, are you stating about the build issues, fixed in
commit bd6f20333c67 ("RISC-V: Only select essential drivers for SOC_VIRT config")
which was due to all platform dependent and independent driver's enabled in Kconfig.soc
for virtual platform.
Kconfig.socs as meant for platform drivers we can guard SPI_SIFIVE with a guard "if SPI"
so that come across " WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SPI_SIFIVE"
--- a/arch/riscv/Kconfig.socs
+++ b/arch/riscv/Kconfig.socs
@@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ config SOC_SIFIVE

        help
          This enables support for SiFive SoC platform hardware.

Currently SPI and SPI_SIFIVE are default enabled via defconfig.
In Kconfig.socs if we force the config  option using "select" SPI_SIFIVE will lose its configurable option.
So I was thinking of using the weak dependency using "imply" as above, so that SPI_SIFIVE can
still be modular if required i.e 'm'.
We can then have other platform independent driver's ( SPI, MTD and MTD_SPI_NOR) required for
enabling SPI_NOR flash into the defconfig.
This way we can have SPI_SIFIVE in Kconfig.soc's and SPI_SIFIVE will also be modular
Please let me know your views on this, or if I am missing something.

Thanks & BR,
Sagar Kadam
