I see no spinand_octal_dtr_disable(), and I feel like we'll want to get
back to single-STR mode just before rebooting/kexec-ing, or if/when
we need to execute other maintenance operations. Actually, I think we
should have something more generic to enter a new mode (see below
for a detailed explanation).

Ok, so you check the controller-side octal-DTR capability when selecting
the read/write/update_cache variants, but what if other commands (reg
access, erase, ...) can't be issued in this mode? I really think all
the commands you might use should be tested at probe time, not just
these 3 operations.

Why not delaying the 'enter fastest available mode' at the end of this
initialization? I fear some flashes won't support some of the
maintenance commands in 8-8-8-DTR, so it's probably safer to enter it
once you've initialized everything else.

I'd probably opt for a more generic name and pass the spinand_protocol
you want to enter in:

	int (*change_mode)(struct spinand_device *spinand,
			   enum spinand_protocol proto);

This way we can get back to 1-1-1-STR if we have to, and we can also
easily extend the logic to support 4-4-4-STR and 8-8-8-STR, which,
IIRC, are a thing (at least they exist on SPI NORs).
