Yeah, OK. That's actually what I asked in the initial mail of this thread ;-).
I just don't know how to access any address width or size or sector size/count
info from within spi-ath79.c (as it seems to be on a higher layer than
m25p80.c/spi-nor.c).

Can you provide me with some hints on how this could be done, Felix? I'd be
happy to whip up another patch then.

Extending spi_flash_read() to work with 4-byte addressing is beyond my
knowledge of kernel intrinsics :-/

Cheers,

   Christian
