Despite being very common in commit logs, SPI NOR controllers simply do not exist. At least, they are not as specific as the name implies. There are SPI memory controllers which are indeed "specialized" and optimized for handling "memories", but most of them are just generic and accept almost any kind of opcode, address, dummy and data cycles, making them as suitable for NANDs than NORs. Furthermore, this controller supports any kind of bus, from single to octal NAND, so make it clear. Also add a comment to mention that the initial compatible naming is too specific (but obviously kept for backward compatibility reasons).

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 reStructuredText 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.
