Sorry. no 'M25P80' suffix here this is spi-nor.h :-)

mtd_info should not be present here. Rather it should be other way round
'mtd_info->priv = (struct spi_nor *) spi_nor;

Again, spi_nor would be a MTD device, not a new type of device on its own.
Thus you should use, mtd_info->dev.

How about '+  u8  read_reg_opcode' ??

+ How about '+  u8  write_reg_opcode' ??

(agree .. there is nothing in the name, but it matches SPI generic framework)

Other missing fields I can think of are.. 
+ u8 read_dummy_cycles;
+ u8 write_dummy_cycles;

Do you need 'opcode' passed in argument here ?
Can you add it as 'read_reg_opcode' field in struct spi_nor ?
'read_reg_opcode' should be fixed for a device like a 'read_flash_opcode'.

Instead of having actual 'command[]' array in struct spi_nor, and pass its
valid length here.. shouldn't you pass the command as u8[] here..
int (*write_reg)(struct spi_nor *flash, u8 *cmd, u32 cmd_len);
where
	cmd[0] == command_opcode
	cmd[1] == command argument 1 (like offset for erase)
	cmd[2] == command argument 2 
	...

Sorry for bit intrusive feedback. But I think it would help you to
refine it better. Also some reference below
