For his PHY tuning series on the Cadence QSPI controller embedded in TI
SoCs, Santhosh initially needed to access the availability of the DQS
(data strobe) signal. This is a chip dependent capability, which may
sometimes be enabled.
Create a SPI memory flag for it, let the SPI NAND core set this flag
when it knows about the capability, and expect manufacturer drivers to
enable it for octal needs when the chips are compatible.
This is an alternative at needing a DT property. Please note that there
are a few blind spots:
- the line may not be wired (this would be surprising, but can be
flagged this time by a DT property)
- manufacturer drivers must enable the feature if it is
available (especially for high speed DTR modes)
- this implementation is proposed for SPI NANDs only, if this proposal
is accepted the same approach may be taken in SPI NOR.
Here is the original thread which lead to this series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/87v7gbdwdh.fsf@bootlin.com/T/#ma79fc364d7b882a48dbdf47203dde75df4bb0ec4
This series was compile tested only at this stage. As DDR tuning does
not yet work on my board, I cannot make sure this change has a real
impact.
Mark, as agreed, you can take the spi-mem patch through spi for this
cycle, and I will pick up the remaining spi-nand patches after the merge
window.

Changes in v3:
- Rebased on top of linux-spi/for-7.3 and dopped all existing
dependencies on the MTD bits.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260807-winbond-nand-next-phy-tuning-v2-0-73595e89d6e3@bootlin.com
Changes in v2:
- Dropped the RFC prefix.
- Rebased on top of v7.2-rc1.
- Dropped the spi patch for now, just allowing to use DQS on a few
Winbond SPI NANDs (can be improved later).
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260205-winbond-nand-next-phy-tuning-v1-0-5e7d3976f0f1@bootlin.com
