Maybe just increase MAX_CMD_SIZE by 1 unconditonally?
Yeah, looks like a bug in m25p80.c, flash->fast_read
is initialized too late.

Which flash chip are these for?  The OPCODE_DOR and OPCODE_QOR
match MX25L25635E, but OPCODE_QPP not (Macronix uses 0x38).

this doesn't work with the flash->fast_read setting from DT

BTW, if we add "bitwidths" to spi_board_info, wouldn't
it make sense to also add "use_fast_read" and remove the
CONFIG_M25PXX_USE_FAST_READ option?

MX25L25635E doesn't have a cr, instead a bit needs to be set in the sr

Maybe we need to add some fields to m25p_ids[] to manage variation
between flash devices.
