#7 Parallel flash operation not supported by jedec.c

[Arnim Läuger]

In contrast to cfi_detect() of cfi.c, jedec_detect() in jedec.c does not handle the case when two or more chips are connected in parallel to a bus. The function simply ignores the result of bw/8 and builds the cfi_array->cfi_chips array for one single chip only. cfi_detect() is more clever and loops through all attached chips.
This is probably no issue as long as only one single chip is connected to a bus. Might be easy to fix if jedec_detect() is extended with a looping detection behavior for all attached chips based on the bus width (as cfi_detect() does).

Should be fixed upon request when there's hardware available to test & debug this modification.

Missing functionality for a subset of AMD flash devices is included in amd_flash.c. When fixing this issue, consider the code in amd_flash.c as well. Preferably merge the two drivers with the goal to delete one of them completely.
Proposal: Update jedec.c/amd.c and remove amd_flash.c.

I think the Enhancement "1869650 Improve flash detection and support" is similar enough to this item, so I add a reference there and close this.
