(Now that I've been pointed to the support merged into the SPI tree...)

Aren't the following new DT properties (for the SPI slave) sufficient?

spi-rx-nbits
spi-tx-nbits

We can leave the detection of which flash chips support which modes to 
software (m25p80.c) where it belongs, IMO.

They're already in the following commit:

    spi: DUAL and QUAD support
    
    fix the previous patch some mistake below:
    1. DT in slave node, use "spi-tx-nbits = <1/2/4>" in place of using
       "spi-tx-dual, spi-tx-quad" directly, same to rx. So correct the
       previous way to get the property in @of_register_spi_devices().
    2. Change the value of transfer bit macro(SPI_NBITS_SINGLE, SPI_NBITS_DUAL
       SPI_NBITS_QUAD) to 0x01, 0x02 and 0x04 to match the actual wires.
    3. Add the following check
       (1)keep the tx_nbits and rx_nbits in spi_transfer is not beyond the
          single, dual and quad.
       (2)keep tx_nbits and rx_nbits are contained by @spi_device->mode
          example: if @spi_device->mode = DUAL, then tx/rx_nbits can not be set
                   to QUAD(SPI_NBITS_QUAD)
       (3)if "@spi_device->mode & SPI_3WIRE", then tx/rx_nbits should be in
          single(SPI_NBITS_SINGLE)
