Hi,

it might be just me, but ...

because of these two functions you have the hability to read/write
*more* than one byte, and yet ...

you always increment by each byte. Here, if you used writel(), you wrote
4 bytes and should increment txbuf by 4. Same goes for read_data(),
below. Another thing. Even though your wlen might be 8 bits, if you
write 4 bytes to write, you can save a few CPU cycles by using writel().

You only use writew() if you have exactly 2 bytes to write and writeb()
if you have exactly 1 byte to write. 3 bytes we'll be left as an
exercise.

this calculation doesn't look correct.

(m->frame_length * spi->bits_per_word) /
spi->bits_per_word = m->frame_length

What are you trying to achieve here ? frame_length should be counted in
words right ? And we get that value in bytes. So what's the best
calculation to convert bytes into words ? If you have 8 bits_per_word
you don't need any calculation, but if you have 32 bits_per_word, you
_do_ need something.

How will you achieve the number you want ? (hint: 1 byte == 8 bits)

And btw, all of these mistakes pretty much tell me that this driver
hasn't been tested. How have you tested this driver ? Is your spansion
memory accessed with 8 bits_per_word only ? Is there anyway to use
32 bits_per_word with that device ? That would uncover quite a few
mistakes in $subject.
