Vignesh R a27f2eaf2b mtd: spi-nor: cadence-quadspi: Add support for direct access mode
Cadence QSPI controller provides direct access mode through which flash
can be accessed in a memory-mapped IO mode. This enables read/write to
flash using memcpy*() functions. This mode provides higher throughput
for both read/write operations when compared to current indirect mode of
operation.

This patch therefore adds support to use QSPI in direct mode. If the
window reserved in SoC's memory map for MMIO access is less that of
flash size(like on most SoCFPGA variants), then the driver falls back
to indirect mode of operation.

On TI's 66AK2G SoC, with ARM running at 600MHz and QSPI at 96MHz
switching to direct mode improves read throughput from 3MB/s to 8MB/s.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
