SPI NOR chips are made of pages, which gathered in small groups make (erase) sectors. Sectors, gathered together, make banks inside the chip. Until now, there was only one bank per device supported, but we are about to introduce support for new chips featuring several banks (up to 4 so far) where different operations may happen in parallel. Let's allow describing these additional bank parameters, and let's do this independently of any other value (like the number of sectors) with an absolute value. By default we consider that all chips have a single bank.

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.
