Hi, I don't really have enough knowledge to comment QUAD IO, I'll just
include some general comments.

Above description is a bit of pain to read & understand. Long
sentences, lacking spaces after interpunction signs, small letters in
"micron", "spi" etc., lines over 72 chars. You really could do better

All defines use tab so follow this way (don't use space instead).
