+Subject: [PATCH] mtd: m25p80: allow fallback from spi_flash_read to regular
+ SPI transfer
+
+Some flash controllers, e.g. on the ath79 platform can support a fast
+flash read via memory mapping, but only if the flash chip is in
+3-byte address mode.
+
+Since spi_flash_read_supported does not have access to the same data as
+spi_flash_read, the driver can't detect an unsupported call until m25p80
+has decided to use spi_flash_read.
+
+Allow the driver to indicate a fallback to a regular SPI transfer by
+returning -EOPNOTSUPP
