Merge series from Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com>:
Based on discussion on the patch I sent some time ago here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2021-June/086867.html
it turns out that the preferred way to deal with the SPI flash controller
drivers is through SPI MEM which is part of Linux SPI subsystem.
This series does that for the intel-spi driver. This also renames the
driver to follow the convention used in the SPI subsystem. The first patch
improves the write protection handling to be slightly more safer. The
following two patches do the conversion itself. Note the Intel SPI flash
controller only allows commands such as read, write and so on and it
internally uses whatever addressing etc. it figured from the SFDP on the
flash device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
