With STM32 QSPI, it is possible to poll the status register of the device. This could be done to offload the CPU during an operation (erase or program a SPI NAND for example). spi_mem_poll_status API has been added to handle this feature. This new function take care of the offload/non-offload cases. For the non-offload case, use read_poll_timeout() to poll the status in order to release CPU during this phase. For example, previously, when erasing large area, in non-offload case, CPU load can reach ~50%, now it decrease to ~35%.

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.
