TBH, I did not think that this series would be applied since I tagged it 
as RFC, hence the typos which would have been caught. Indeed, this also 
exposes an issue with enabling quad SPI for a spansion SPI NOR part, 
which I need to debug now in the SPI NOR driver.

Hi Mark,

Do you want me to do anything about the above superfluous newline?

Thanks,
John
